Obituary of Audrey Wilson

WILSON, Audrey Mae (nee Upton) Peacefully passed away on Sunday, May 11th, 2008 at North York General Hospital. Predeceased by her dearly beloved husband William. Dear mother of Bill Jr. of Willowdale, Frank and his wife Karen of Federal Way, WA, grandmother of Kevin and Cynthia Wilson. Beloved stepmother of Catherine and her husband John Finn of Los Angeles and Howardsville, VA. Beloved sister of Mac Upton of Toronto. Audrey was born at home in the Beaches area of Toronto in 1920. After graduating from Jarvis Collegiate she worked both in Montreal and Toronto for her father's machine tool company. It was at a trade show where she met her husband, Bill and they were married in 1953. Once their two children were in their teens, Audrey started a second career in accounting at Electronetic Systems in Markham where she worked for 25 years. Audrey was an outgoing, forthright person with many friends. She was an ardent knitter of socks and sweaters for many lucky recipients, an accomplished bridge player, and a fervent lover of golf. She played on a regular basis until a few years ago, and then never missed a game on TV. Her favorite player, Sergio Garcia, won the Players Championship on the day she passed away. A private graveside service at Mount Pleasant Cemetery will be held at a later date. As an expression of sympathy, donations to the Alzheimer Society of Canada, 1-800-616-8816, www.alzheimer.ca would be gratefully appreciated by the family.
