Audrey M. Anderson passed away at the age of 72, with her family by her side on Saturday, June 13th. She was born on January 3, 1948 in Kingston, Jamaica to the late Newton and Cicely Lee. She was the second of seven children Robert (deceased), Donald (deceased), Jennifer, Judy, Julian and Karen.
Audrey grew up in Kingston, Jamaica and at the age of 12, she along with her family, migrated to Brooklyn, New York where she was a graduate of John Jay High School. She later moved to Greenbelt, Maryland where she worked for Prince George's County Public Schools and then for the University of Maryland, College Park.
''Aug" was the best mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and aunt that anyone could ask for. She was a dedicated and proud mother to Susan, Cheryl, Robert, and Damien. She treasured her children and embraced every moment with them. They were her life. She especially loved her role as Grandma to Steven "Poppy", Patricia, Maya, Damien Jr. "DJ", Noah, Tiffany and Devon. She was also a Great-Grandmother to 2-year old Kali. She was the Caretaker to Nassir "King", whom she welcomed into the family and raised as her own grandchild for the last 10 years.
Audrey would do anything for anyone, she had a heart made of gold. It was common for her to put the needs of others before her own. Therefore, it is fitting that the Bible states in Matthew 11:28, "Come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest". While she will be missed tremendously, she is now able to get her much needed and well-deserved rest. She is no longer in pain and no longer suffering.
She is survived by her four children; Susan, Cheryl, Robert and Damien; grandchildren "Poppy", Patricia, Maya, "DJ", Noah, Tiffany and Devon; great-granddaughter Kali; sisters Jennifer, Judy and Karen; her brother Julian and a host of nieces, nephews, family and friends that she loved. She is preceded in death by her parents Cicely and Newton Lee, and brothers Robert and Donald Lee.
