Audrey was a to-the-penny bookkeeper. She worked with Clodis at M&M Air Service and Texas Rice Improvement Association, where she served as secretary-treasurer for more than 40 years.  They continued working together at Seaberg Rice Company in Dayton and Cox–Nelson Seed Company in Katy.

Her life can be summed up in the following quote: She “added to the sum of human joy and were every one to whom she did some loving service to bring a blossom to her grave, she would sleep tonight beneath a wilderness of flowers.” — Robert Ingersol.
