Audrey Lundell Wilson was surrounded by love when she passed away after a quick decline on Sunday, November 5th, 2017, at the age of 88.

A resident of Atlanta for nearly 50 years, she was an avid gardener and volunteered for many years as head of gardens at the Tullie Smith House of the Atlanta History Center. She also volunteered as lead periodicals cataloger in the library of her daughters’ school; she was google before computers. Audrey was highly creative in natural arts and a student of interior design. She loved children, dogs, walking on the beach, and laughing with friends. In her later years, she was a philanthropist supporting numerous foundations and charities dear to her heart. Audrey was predeceased by her husband, John R.
