March 26, 1946 - September 18, 2011

On September 18th, 2011 Audrey Elaine (Waters) Reinson passed away peacefully in her Kamloops home.

She is survived her loving children, daughters Jodi (Eugene) and Kristi (Sean) and son Guy, and grandchildren Tenasia, Tucker, Jorga (father Graham) and Shayla of Kamloops and sister Ellyn (Buck) and children of Mayfair.

She was predeceased by parents Earnest and Alice Waters.

Audrey reminisced fondly of her childhood growing up on her parent's farm in the Mayfair District of Saskatchewan. Audrey married Don Reinson in June 1968 while working at the University of Saskatchewan. After her daughter Jodi and son Guy were born in North Battleford, Saskatchewan, the family moved west, following Don's electrical career to Williams Lake, B.C. where daughter Kristi was born. Audrey's young family eventually settled in Kamloops in 1975.

Audrey requested that a special thank you be sent out to the Kamloops Thompson Teachers Association for thirty plus years of amazing employment and for all of their unconditional support. She also requested a thank you to her "wonderful relatives and friends near and far for their bountiful sharing and caring" throughout her life.

Audrey was happiest when surrounded by her loving network of family and friends, hosting a celebration rich with music, warm meals and laughter. We are incredibly grateful to have been embraced by Audrey's generous, loving presence and to have had such an amazing role model.

All who knew Audrey would agree that she blessed this world with her life, and humbly set an example of how to be a mother, grandmother, relative and friend. She was truly a beautiful soul, who was quick to laugh and able to make those around her feel special and welcome.

You're invited to join the family for a Celebration of Audrey's life on Saturday, October 29th, 2011 at 3:00 p.m. in the Parkside Lounge at the Interior Savings Centre.

Cremation entrusted to Schoening Funeral Service, telephone 250-374-1454.
