A Life of Service Unto God continued
degree in human resources from Lincoln University. After this achievement, she was promoted to Human Resources Director. Audrey retired from Community Council after 25 years of service.
One of the greatest highlights of Evangelist Audrey’s ministry was the birth of the Total Praise Family Worship Center in Narberth, Pennsylvania where she served as the founder and senior pastor. By God’s divine instruction and anointing, Evangelist Audrey poured into the souls of various families, friends and the community at large that were sent to Total Praise.
After some traveling, which she loved to do, Audrey restarted her career at FIS Group/ Xponance in 2005. After her first retirement in June 2009, she returned to the Xponance family on November 1, 2017, continuing to serve with the same dedication and warmth until her final retirement in 2021. Throughout her combined years of service, Audrey was much more than a valued employee; she was the heart of the workplace. Affectionately known as Xponance's Prayer Mother, she faithfully uplifted colleagues with her prayers, words of
encouragement, and unwavering faith. Her compassion, wisdom, and genuine care for others touched countless lives and has left a lasting impact on the organization.
Through several challenges Evangelist Audrey placed Total Praise on hold and attended Memorial COGIC, under the leadership of Pastor Daren K. Miller. During her time at Memorial, Evangelist Audrey was a part of the Wednesdays Hour of Power. She was a co-ministry leader with Evangelist Marquita Sawyer of the New Members' class. She shared doctrine, history and her love of God. She served as a dedicated member of Memorial until her health declined.
Over the years, Audrey opened her home to friends & family during times of need - Doll, Carol, Jerrell, Carlene, Sean and Jettie (who she affectionately called Jettie Mae). Audrey was a kind, loving, and nurturing second mother to all who knew and loved her. Wherever Audrey was, she did not hesitate to pray for you, pray with you, lay hands on you, and give sound advice on life challenges or simply show love.
Audrey was still actively traveling, participating in family events and worshipping in church
until sickness suddenly slowed her down. On Wednesday, June 24, 2026, the Lord peacefully called Audrey to eternal rest.
