Audrey Jean Kiplinger's Obituary
Audrey Jean Kiplinger, age 89, passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones. A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, Audrey lived a full and joyful life rooted in faith, family, and community.
Audrey was married for 67 wonderful years to her beloved husband, Richard Kiplinger, with whom she built a lifetime of cherished memories. Together, they raised three sons: Brian (Sharon), Brad, and the late Bruce.
