Audrey Abernethy, age 92, passed away peacefully on Thursday, November 15, 2018 at Living Well Nursing Home in Bristol Vermont. She was born on September 17, 1926 in Sunderland, England. After school she enlisted in the British Army serving as a nurse in Malaya during the Malayan Emergency. Following the army she met and married Kenneth Abernethy in Sunderland, they moved to Scotland, and then emigrated to the United States in 1967. She worked for many years at St John’s Hospital in Smithtown, NY. They retired to Monkton Vermont, and after Kenneth passed away she moved from Monkton to Bristol. As well as raising a family her interest included fishing, pets, and the outdoors. Many will remember her walking her dog around Bristol always happy, smiling and quick with a joke. She is survived by her three children, Geoffrey, Andrew, and Kathleen , six grand children, Robert, Michael, Jennifer, Ian, Derek, Owen and one great grand child, Jayde. The Abernethy family would like to extend our gratitude to all the staff at Living Well for their attentiveness and loving care.
