To our dear family, We would like to express our deepest love and sympathy to all of you at this difficult time. Audrey was such a remarkable woman of faith! Her strong love, loyalty and faith for Jehovah and love for her family is such a wonderful example worth imitating. Her name could easily be included among faithful ones identified in Hebrews 11. She had such a beautiful, loving way of making everyone feel comfortable. She was a mom to all of us! We know she will be greatly missed, especially by Jehovah. He will truly miss her faithful works and prayers. May Jehovah "the God of all comfort" strengthen all of you. (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) What a beautiful reunion it will be when we can welcome our dear precious loved ones back home. While death reminds us of the brevity of life, the resurrection reminds us of the brevity of death. May Jehovah wrap His love around you all! ( Psalm 147:3 ) Please be assured all of you are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you all very much. We love all the pictures and memories too.
Warm Love and Hugs, David & Lilian Del Grande (Bahu) Ontario, Canada

Although I didn’t get to see Audrey much in later years jus knowing she was there was encouraging to me. It was because of Audrey’s patience and love with Jehovah‘s help that I learned the truth a long time ago . I remember when she married and when her 5 children were born. Both Audrey and her family have been very special to me. Therefore you all have my deepest sympathy and love. Jehovah give you peace of mind and comfort inthis time of sorrow. Looking forward to seeing her in the New World. Love Carlene

So many nice pictures! Sister Wickham was truly a blessing from Jehovah. She was instrumental in assisting me back to spiritual health. Brother Wickham studied with me and helped to reactivate me. He studied with me until he was no longer physically able to continue, at which point Brother Donny Hogan assumed the project. Sister Wickham often accompanied Brother Wickham on the study. I was a firsthand witness of Debbie’s statement that her mother fully supported Brother Wickham. While Brother Wickham studied with me, several were the times that I didn’t fully grasp an important point. Sister Wickham was keen to pick up on those times. While not usurping his authority as head, she would make sure to circle back to whatever I had missed and ask auxiliary questions to help me grasp the idea. I will always be appreciative of the wisdom from above that they both possessed. Because of their efforts, and Jehovah’s assistance over twenty individuals in my family are members of the Christian Congregation. Additionally, I have to mention that during the time that I knew Sister Wickham, I never heard her speak negatively of or to anyone. I know that she was imperfect, but her beautiful disposition has had a lasting effect on me, so much so that I try to imitate it. Sadly, I haven’t come close, but I’ll keep trying. Your entire family is loved by so many, but none more than Jehovah himself. As we know, he is eager to make her stand again. We also know that he
always succeeds in what he purposes to do. Please accept our most sincere condolences.

Your mom was a sweetheart.
My mom and Carolyn Warren, my sister, ,Went over to her house for the weekly Congregation ‘s Bible Studies.
I was always happy to visit her at her house when I could.
My condolences to all the family of dear sister Wickham.
It will be a joyous time in the resurrection of all our dear ones.

Moms maiden name was Prowant. She was one of 7 children. Velma Haut her sister lived the closest, within a 5 min drive. Vera lived for years in Mi, 1st in Flushing and then Ludington till she moved to GA. The others lived in Florida where her parents had moved. So they were pretty scattered. Grandpa was baptised in 1946, a year before mom. 2 of moms siblings were baptised with her when they made the long trek to LA Ca. and back. Grandma, Velma and more siblings were baptised at the NY assembly in 1950. Dad was an only child, but moms family was large. My head is swimming with memories of reunions at Hauts house, yearly trips to Fl, and Chicago where moms sister Peggy and her family lived fir awhile till they moved to Fl. Moms family was important to her and it showed. I cannot express in words how these events and memories have shaped not just my life, but the lives of every child born into the Prowant family. When mom Married dad, they made it the focus of their life to teach us to love Jehovah and love people, not just in word, but with deeds. A true treasure of a gift. I will never forget how Mom upon arriving home from each meeting at the Kingdom Hall would ask dad, "Did you notice that so-and-so was not there? Maybe you should give them a call and check on them." That was mom and dad. Dad had lots of responsibilities between the congregation, his mail carrier job, husband and father, and with five kids that could not have been easy. But he appreciated Mom's Sarah- like qualities and always listened to her words. She fully supported him. And as I got older, she proved to be an invaluable friend and example that will stick with me until we can be with her again with all our loved ones in Paradise.

Our friends in the truth are absolutely priceless. I will treasure the time spent with Audrey and the experiences in the truth that she shared with us during our visits over the years. I look forward to the new system where our friendship can pick up where we left off. Until then, Chip and I would like to offer our sincere condolences to the Lenz, Wickham, and Cox families. 💕🙏💕

Mom’s final years caring for her, I learned a lot about her, and a lot about myself . At this point in her life she needed help with everything . She had a lot to complain about but never once did I hear her complain. We focused on what she could do ,and not what she couldn’t. My mom loved life and praising Jehovah …. Each day she would listen to the Bible recordings , most days she would remember the next day what book she was in and where she left off, to me that did not matter . She was praising Jehovah!! Her courage, endurance , faith and trust in Jehovah in this time of her life was truly faith strengthening to me. In the end she lost her ability to speak even a word . I’ll never forget her last word to me. It will forever be etched in my mind . ………PRAY.
So even though there is no official memorial for my mom…… in memory of her and so many others that have fallen asleep in death take a minute, take an hour , take a day to praise Jehovah . Tell someone his name ,and what a great God he is . Our faith in a wonderful future is strong and in tact !

How do I choose what to say…… My mom was the backbone of our family. My mom and my dad made sure our growing up yrs were filled with love, joy, laughter and music. …..Our house was one of peace. …..They not only learned Jehovahs ways, but lived them ,and taught us to do the same. They gave us the gift that keeps on giving . For that I will be forever grateful.
My mom was a hard worker, we had a full garden growing up . We planted, watered , weeded, harvested and canned many different varieties of fruits and veggies. we took family trips in search of wild grapes and elderberries. She made the best homemade jam, jelly , apple and pear butter . Even tried her hand at elderberry wine and dandelion wine which people thought was quite good.😊 there was always homemade bread and home made chocolate chips cookies, and brownies ,even enough for the freezer.
My mom was a homemaker … a job she did well 😊 we lacked nothing .

I loved, with all my heart, Sister Audry Wickham! I remember with great fondness riding with Audry and her family to various conventions and assemblies when I first learned about Jehovah.
She was a spiritual warrior! Her love for Jehovah was very strong.
Sister Wickham was extremely kind and very loving. And all who knew her, loved her deeply.
I look forward to her waking up in the New World soon to come. She looked forward to that same thing. It's a promise...from Jehovah God...that this will happen. She will indeed wake up to again live right here on earth.
Until I see her at that time, I will miss her.

Moms love was warm and welcoming when I entered the Wickham family and only grew till she went to sleep. She became my 2nd mom. And I developed a valuable and memorable friendship with Mark and the rest of the clan. No ones beef roast dinner and Cole slaw will compare to moms. Her fresh green beans from the garden were the best. Can’t wait to enjoy them and her again!
