Audrey Corrine Knutson

December 6, 1928 — August 19, 2022

Audrey C. Knutson (nee Hintz), 93, joined Heaven's angels as she passed away peacefully in her sleep on August 19, 2022. Devoted wife of the late Raymond Knutson Sr., to whom she married in 1950, where they lived on Peninsula Drive on Pewaukee Lake for nearly 40 years until his passing.

Proud 'Ma' to her six boys, Raymond Jr. (the late Dianne), the late Gregory (L'Nan), Kris (Julie), Kurt (Cindy), Timothy (Jean) and Brian.
Loving grandmother, known as "Grandma K", to her 17 grandchildren; Travis, Steven, Megan (Edward III Smith), Andi (Aaron Schuett), Daniel (Jenny), Joshua (Janet), Casey (Jakob Tetzlaff), Ashley (Andrew Schaefer), Jenessa (Matthew Eales), Darcy (Jason Paproth), Adam, Nicholas, Amanda (Peter Stoudt), Peter (Brooke), Kelsie (Dane Helland), Mitchell and Emily. She was also an amazing great grandmother to her 26 great grandchildren, with two more on the way. Special and adoring friend to Mary Barter and Mary Knutson.

Audrey was born on December 6, 1928 in Milwaukee, WI.She is preceded in death by her parents, Walter and Myrtle Hintz, and her siblings, Delores, Lorraine and Eldon.

Audrey was an avid bowler and spent much of her social life with family and friends at the local alley, but also bowled competitively at Nationals. She loved to play any card game and was especially fond of card nights playing cribbage and sheepshead with friends. Audrey loved a good supper club and a good family barbecue. She spent much of her retirement in Delray Beach, FL, where she enjoyed making new friends, gardening, going on walks and spending time outdoors. She loved to laugh and enjoyed a cocktail – mostly coupled together. She loved challenging crossword puzzles and enjoyed playing any word-based games with her grandkids. She genuinely loved getting to know people and was a very loyal and generous friend.

Her family will miss her smile, her quick wit and the joy she brought to all; and know she will join the party with the many waiting for her in Heaven.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Audrey's honor to the American Heart Association and the American Cancer Society.
