AUDREY EVELYN ILCHYNA (nee CLAYDON) July 1, 1929 May 4, 2018 After a short courageous battle with cancer, Audrey passed away peacefully, with loving family at her side, on Friday, May 4, 2018, at the age of 88. She is survived by her nine children, Burnell, Norman (Dianne), Dennis (Janet), Donald (Georgette), Dianne (Ron), Larry (Gladys), Laurie, Gail, Tracy (Brad), 17 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren, one great-great-grandchild and sisters, Rita (Ralph) and Marilyn. Audrey was predeceased by her husband Albert; her parents, William and Edith Claydon; grandson Clint; brother-in-law Merv; and son-in-law Craig. Audrey was born at home in a log cabin in Monominto. She worked in Winnipeg briefly and then married the love of her life, Albert, in 1950. They raised their family of nine in Monominto on their family farm, where she continued to live for the rest of her life. She will be remembered for her love of family, friends, home, music and her home cooked delicious food. Audrey loved animals and the simple life on the farm. She had great joy entertaining people with her music playing alongside her family. Audrey's greatest joy was all the little children in her life. A celebration of Audrey's life will be held Saturday, May 12, 2018 at Anola Community Club, in Anola, MB at 1:30 p.m. A private family interment will follow.

Born in a log cabin on the farm, having 9 children and never missing a day of work doing what she loved. They don't make women like that anymore.
