Audrey Louise Arthur Audrey Louise "Mammie" Arthur (Barker), passed away peacefully in her sleep on Friday August 7, 2015 at Crestview Center. She is preceded in death by her Mom and Dad, Husband Isaac Arthur Jr. , 8 brothers, 2 sisters, daughter Sandy, grandson Billy and 2 granddaughters Nikki and Raquelle. She lost many loved ones over the years and we know she was ready to see them again. Her strong will to live, unwavering faith in God, as well as the love and prayers of family, friends, and many supporters carried her through the past two years. Audrey was born in Mason County, West Virginia to Virgil and Eva Barker and was one of eleven children. Audrey was an active member of Christ United Methodist Church and a Volunteer at the local food pantry. She worked as a Sales Clerk at K-Mart where she received the award for employee of the year in 2001. Audrey retired in 2011, after spending 25 years at their Langhorne store. She was married to Isaac Arthur Jr. for 38 years before his passing in 1993, they were both proud to be one of the original Fairless Hills Home Owners. Audrey devoutly cared for her family and friends through her delicious cooking and baking from scratch - including Mammie's southern fried chicken and cornbread, crafts, and scrapbooking. With a real zest for life, Audrey loved to listen to Country music, enjoyed working in the garden, shopping, painting ceramics, playing games and cards especially with her grandchildren, chatting on the telephone or over coffee with family and friends, and traveling just to name a few. She was an avid fan of the Philadelphia Phillies, and always had a spirit for adventure. Audrey was always young at heart, always quick with a smile, and quite the Pip at times. She will be remembered for the strength of her conviction and the twinkle in her beautiful blue eyes. Left behind to cherish her memory are her devoted daughters Sue Van Hoose (Mark), Debbie Tralies and Terry Hetzel (Jim). Audrey also leaves behind her 7 loving grandchildren Doug R. Humphreys, Cindy A. Nolan, David I. Humphreys, Pam J. Muncy, Jason T. Hetzel, Kevin T. Hetzel, Logan T. Hetzel, 10 great grandchildren, 2 great great grandchildren, several nieces and nephews, and many friends.
