    You all are in my thoughts and prayers in the death of Audrey. May she have eternal peace and joy with God and may God give you comfort and peace. I have many fond memories of Audrey and all of you from my days at Nativity. Audrey lived life and loved life and enjoyed her family and friends. She was a woman of deep faith who lived her values. I always enjoyed getting together with all of you if it was in your home in Fargo or at the lake. We laughed a lot! Audrey’s legacy of love and faith lives on in all of us.

  5. I loved her the first time we met at Ashley’s bridal shower. An amazing woman. My deepest sympathies for your loss.

  6. Dear Krupich Family:
    My mother usually had a great Audrey story after Wednesday night choir practices. We never left DeLendrices without looking for Audrey & when we found her we were always greeted with love ❤️, kindness and great humor, the best part about Audrey is she never really realized how funny she was. How fortunate we were to have grown up in a neighborhood with 68 children, running around having fun. I have so many wonderful memories of your clan. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

  7. I will miss Audrey even tho we haven’t seen each other very often in the last few years. She was always lots of fun to be around and talk to. She will be greatly missed.

  8. I am going to really miss seeing her whenever we come to Fargo. She was such a good friend to my mom. I’m really glad that Kio and I were able to spend Christmas with her last year as well and say our goodbyes then. She was truly one of the nicest people I had ever met.

  9. I worked with Audrey at deLendrecie’s for many years. She was always smiling in the China department. She was a joy to be around and I will miss her. My heartfelt sympathy to all of her children and grandchildren. God will keep her in His arms. You now have another Angel in Heaven.

  10. Krupich family,
    I am so sorry for your loss. I have many memories of Audrey being one of my 4 extra mom’s as we ran around South Acres. She was always kind and caring, always quick to talk. Such a positive influence.
    Please know you are all in my prayers.

  11. To the Krupich Family,
    You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. You all were truly blessed to have Audrey as your mother, she was an amazing women! I enjoyed the years I was able to visit with her around the fire pit at the lake- she was always good for a story. I especially remember the one about her and Dolores doing dishes, she was drying and Dolores was washing- they were being punished and a whole drawer full of silverware was dropped into the sink for them to wash, Audrey would smile as she said “Dolores got the easy part, she just dumped them into my rinse side and I had to dry them all!” She had many stories about all of you growing up and about the memories from the many holidays she repeated to our children. I remember her listening to Amanda plink away at the piano, and how she would laugh and tell her how good she was, and her famous pointer finger! She will be truly missed but always remembered, I wish you all the best during these difficult times.

  12. I’m so sorry to hear of Audrey’s passing. She always had a warm smile and a kind word when I’d see her. I feel blessed to have grown up in such a wonderful neighborhood where moms like Audrey made all of the kids feel welcome. My sympathy to all of you.

  13. Oh my…just learned of Audreys passing. She was like another mother to me. Worked side by side with her for many years at deLendrecies. I have so many wonderful memories and just as many funny stories! She was a wonderful, caring, funny, loving woman. I hope to live up to her example one day…
