Audrey M. (Boucher) Crain, formerly of Denver, Colorado and Bainbridge Island, passed away peacefully of age related causes in Sequim on July 3, 2014. She was 90.
Audrey was preceded in death by her husband of 61 years, Lee E. Crain. Lee passed on May 4, 2011.
Born May 9, 1924 to Vaughn and Marguerite (Roth) Boucher in Yakima, Audrey grew up in Tacoma. She married Lee in 1950 and is survived by their children, Margy (Crain) Kennedy (Denver) and Pat Crain (Sequim); four grandchildren; nieces and nephews; and their children.
Audrey was adventurous, loved the outdoors, and was always active.
She achieved her Shodan (Black Belt) in Judo and even attended training sessions at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado. Through the years, she worked as a fire lookout, veterinary tech, ski instructor and mail carrier.
Her travels, inclusive personality, love of animals, sense of fun, and appreciation of the absurd earned her many admiring friends. She will be dearly missed.
A celebration of Audrey’s life with Lee will be held at 1 p.m. Sunday, July 27 at the John Wayne Marina in Sequim.
Memorial donations may be made in Audrey’s name to your local animal shelter.
