CHAUMONT, N.Y.  —  Audrey C. Warner, 95, passed away Saturday, Aug. 6, at her home on Mallard Drive.

Born May 3, 1916, in Lowville, the daughter of, John K. and Cora M. Dingman Cheal, her family moved to Pt. Peninsula in 1928 where she graduated from local schools. 

She married Lawrence A. Warner on July 24, 1934, in Three Mile Bay. 

They moved to North Shore Road, in Three Mile Bay, where Lawrence owned a farm, one of five he would eventually own. In 1937 they had a son, Leland Duane, who died shortly after birth. The couple moved to Three Mile Bay, in 1947 and lived there for 13 years where they raised their daughter Theresa Kay Warner. They moved in 1960 back to the “Old Homestead” where her husband was born. 

They were blessed with their first grandson, Brian Jeremy Bourqiun, in 1973 and once again blessed with another grandson, Christopher Lawrence Bourquin, in 1977.

Unfortunately, they lost their daughter. Theresa, in a car accident in 1979. 

While being a busy grandmother, Audrey also helped design the house they would move to, in Chaumont, in 1979. Their time together was cut short when her husband, Lawrence, suffered a fatal heart attack in the spring of 1987.   

Audrey remained an active member of the First Baptist Church, Three Mile Bay.  

Friends will remember Audrey for her cooking, her green thumb and their lively phone conversations. 

Surviving are two grandsons, Brian J. Bourquin, Boston, Mass., and Christopher L. Bourquin, Springfield, Vt.  

Two brothers, Clarence and Maynard Cheal died before her. 

Donations may be made in her memory to Three Mile Bay or Chaumont Fire Departments or the American Humane Society.
