Hannah Audrey Hobbs It is with extreme sadness that we announce the passing into God's Hands of Hannah Audrey Hobbs (nee Spanswick) on January 8, 2010 at the Toronto Western Hospital, at the age of 83.

Audrey was born on January 29, 1926 in Sherbrooke, Quebec, daughter of Walter and Elsie Spanswick. She was a faithful, life-long member of the Anglican Church, serving as a Sunday School teacher, Youth Worker, member of the Woman's Auxiliary, Mother's Union, Chancel Guild, St. Paul's Prayer Connection and, most noteworthy, the dedicated wife of an Anglican priest. She enjoyed listening to music, reading, gardening and family get-togethers. Audrey worked in administration at St. Luke's Hospital, Cleveland, Ohio, and at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto. She had a wonderful sense of humour and a great passion for life that she has passed on to her family. The family will receive friends at the HUMPHREY FUNERAL HOME - A.W.
