Sadness created out of our selfishness, we miss her presence in this realm. Audrey was a wonderful daughter, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother and friend; she accepted everyone she met without judgment. Her sense of humor and laughter will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved her. Audrey was our angel, who loved and forgave us without condition. Audrey spent her years gracing us with her company. She was preceded in death by her mother, Dorothy Tharpe; father, Earle Tharpe and grandson Max McGuire.

Audrey's family would like to extend sincere thanks and appreciation to Aultman Hospice of Canton for their outstanding ethics, empathy, kind service and devoted care throughout their time with us; neighbors and friends Audrey and Mitch Brown for their help and compassionate care. Each of these dedicated professionals and friends made our final weeks with Audrey a little easier. You have found your true calling, and we thank you.
