Audrey Michelle Courtice

Audrey Michelle Courtice , a beautiful angel and daughter to Drew and April (nee Bennett) Courtice, went back in the arms of the Lord on April 17, 2019. She passed away peacefully in the arms of her parents.

Audrey was the baby sister of Andrew 'Trey' and Alexander Courtice, loving granddaughter of Mike and Pam Bennett, Andy and Barbara Courtice and Donnah and Larry Ross, great granddaughter to Carolyn Bennett and Emmaline Hinshaw, and dearest niece of Kathie (Keith) Theisen, Laura (Jack) Mitchell, Liza Danver and Angie Brinneman and cousin of Emma, Arin, Sydney, Max, John and Charlotte.

Although the time on earth was brief, Audrey will be greatly missed by many. Audrey’s name means strength, and she was a little fighter from the beginning. She suffered a traumatic birth injury and was not given long to live. She fought for every single breath she ever took, but never gave up. She defied the odds and came home at two months old. She lived life to the fullest. Audrey loved bath time, listening to music and snuggling with family. Her brothers loved to entertain her with books and air shows over her crib.

Audrey’s impact on the world around her began the moment she was born, as she showed us God’s miracles every day. She taught us what true strength, faith, and grace look like. In her short life, she has touched so many. Her strength was felt not only by those who met her, but also those who followed her journey of hope. Audrey was a precious gift from God, and her gifts will continue as a donor to other babies in need.

The family knows Audrey’s impact has been great, and they’d like to capture some of the ways her life has made a difference in your life. To share a story, big or small, about Audrey’s impact– please send an email to [email protected] and tell us about it!
