Audrey was born July 26, 1941, in St. Paul, MN and was raised by Frank and Caroline (Fraune) Schluender. She graduated from Long Prairie High School in 1960, and then went onto graduate school to receive her Master of Science Degree from Oregon State University in Corvallis in textiles, clothing and related arts. She married Anthony J. Buhl on June 26, 1965, at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Browerville. She taught at several universities including the College of St. Benedict in St. Joseph. She loved flowers, particularly wild flowers native to Minnesota, which she cultivated in her home garden. She is also remembered as a master of interior design and decorating. Her high school yearbook described her as “winsome and gracious, always a lady” and people who knew her would certainly agree.

Audrey is survived by her husband Anthony of St. Cloud, niece Linda Heatherly of Sacramento, CA and nephew Terry Dutton of Mesa, AZ. She is preceded in death by Frank and Caroline Schluender and their three siblings.

Memorials are preferred.
