January 25, 1927 – January 21, 2020
On Tuesday January 21
st
, 2020, Audrey Frances Cutts (Juleff) passed away of heart and kidney failure at the age of 92. She has joined her husband, Alban Cutts, who tragically died in 2008, due to complications after a car accident. Audrey was born in Swan River, Manitoba to Dorothy and William Juleff on January 25, 1927 and was raised with her 2 sisters Jean Cunningham (deceased) and Joy Stuart on a farm. She will be lovingly remembered by her three children Tim (Margaret) of Ottawa ON, Pam Navickas of Bragg Creek AB and Ted (Sheila) of Stettler AB. Many playful memories are kept of Nanny/Gramma Audrey, by her 8 grandchildren Stephanie, Alex, Jamie, Ashley, Emily, Adam, Marc, Erica, her 3 great grandchildren Cohen, Isaac, Dylan and many nieces and nephews from the Burrows, Cunningham and Stuart families. The life of our party will be missed!
Audrey’s life was one filled with laughter, storytelling, singing and endless chatting. Among many activities, she enjoyed gardening, watercolour painting, observing wildlife, singing in the choir and rustic cottage life at “The Camp” with her husband and children. As a teenager, Audrey travelled from Manitoba to Haney BC, to live with her grandfather and attend high School. Upon turning 18, she enlisted in the Canadian Women’s Army Core and was transferred to Toronto. After the war’s end, Audrey met Alban on a blind date. They married on February 25, 1949 and settled in Ottawa, where she worked for CMHC until the birth of their first child (Tim). Audrey opened her own business – a card and stationary shop – to which she gained much satisfaction from. After her children became older, Audrey sold both ‘Parchment and Quill’ stores and in 1988, moved with Alban to Bath ON, giving them the opportunity for adventurous travels to the USA, Europe, New Zealand and Fiji. After Alban’s death, Audrey lived in Stettler AB, then in 2017 moved to Rocky Ridge Retirement Community in Calgary. On November 30, 2019 Audrey was admitted into the Foothills Hospital and then transferred to the Dulcina Hospice, where she passed away under the comfort and diligent care of the nursing staff and family. Many thanks and gratitude to you all.
