Audrey M (Miller) Smith

Audrey Smith, 87, of Eureka, passed Wednesday, April 14, 2021, in

her home of natural causes. Born November 5, 1933 in St. Maries, Idaho, she was

the youngest of three children. Her father passed when she was 3 years old and

they moved to Spokane, Washington where she met her husband, Ken, on a blind

date while in high school. On Christmas Eve, 1952, they married and moved to Camp

Pendleton where Ken served in the Marine Corp. Upon returning to Spokane, Ken worked

in construction and Audrey began a career with Prudential Insurance. They were blessed

with four children and after 40 years Audrey retired from Prudential and Ken built their

dream home on Glen Lake in Montana. While living on the lake she was actively involved in

quilting, investment club, playing bridge and Red Hats. Audrey’s priority in life was her

family. She endured much heartache with the loss of her husband after 59 years, her son,

Matthew, and her daughter, Callie. She is survived by her daughters: Linda Horan, Connie

Matthews (Bob), and her daughter-in-law, Candace Smith. She had numerous

grandchildren and great grandchildren who were her pride and joy. Audrey will be laid to
