SUTHERLAND, Audrey Oct. 13, 1924 -June 15, 2018 Friday afternoon, June 15, Audrey Sutherland died quietly, at rest, surrounded by the good people at Villa Carital in Vancouver who cared for her, night and day, for the past two and a half years.

Born Audrey Thordarson in Brandon Manitoba, she grew to be a vibrant young woman, pretty as could be. She marched in a band, worked in a factory, won trophies for bowling, married a chemist (Ernie), and had two children (Carol and Brian). The family lived in East Vancouverand Burnaby. Later, Audrey and Ernie moved to Kelowna, then Summerland, where Ernie died in 2012. These last five years were tough, but she soldiered on and did all that was asked of her.

In the end, she asked for nothing and quietly slipped away.

The Vancouver Sun has a selection of verses and memorial tributes to remember your loved ones with. Sample verses: Mother or Sister One year has passed since that sad day, When one we loved was called away; God took her home, it was His will, But in our hearts she liveth still.

Father or Brother We often think of days gone by When we were all together, A shadow o'er our lives has cast, Our loved one gone forever. Wife or Daughter No one knows our heartaches, Only those who have lost can tell Of the grief that we bear in silence For the one we loved so well. Husband or Son Nothing can ever take away The love a heart holds dear. Fond memories linger every day, Remembrance keeps him near. Children He has gone to be an angel, Secure in our Father's care, And his dear little feet now patter along The beautiful streets up there.

Friend or Kin We cannot, Lord, Thy purpose see, But all is well that's done by Thee.
