Audrey Jean Maskell, 85, passed away peacefully at The Hospice House in Hayden, Idaho on Dec. 11, 2015. The best mother, grandmother and great grandmother you could ask for is now at peace. She loved and cared so much for all who were in her life. Audrey was born on Nov. 30, 1930, in Verdun, Quebec, Canada. She married the love of her life, Bert Maskell in 1947. Audrey and Bert had two children, Bonnie and Brad. In 1959 she moved with Bert and their two children to San Diego, Calif.

From there, Audrey lived in Cocolalla, Idaho, Roswell, N.M., Rathdrum, Idaho, and finally Hayden, Idaho. She and her husband, Bert, enjoyed long careers and both retired from GTE. Audrey and Bert enjoyed traveling and RV'ing for a period of time after retirement. Audrey will be remembered for her hospitality, cooking, thoughtfulness, and great sense of humor.
