Audrey attended country school in Blooming Prairie and high school in Dodge Center, where she graduated in 1961. She married her high school sweetheart, Lee Bryngelson on December 2, 1961, and soon after started her family of 6 children.
Audrey enjoyed the simple life; Love, laughter, and the Lord. Mom loved her Lord and served him by studying scripture and serving at church. She had so many interests and skills. Audrey was an amazing quilter and sewer, making quilts for all of her great grandchildren. She was also an amazing cook - easily putting weight on all of us due to the cream, hope butter, and love she put in all her dishes. Most of all mom loved her family and her family loved her. Making and hearing her laugh was our favorite. Audrey made everyone feel special and loved -she wanted to share her positive outlook on life and eternal optimism.
