Audrey Jean Krauth, 81, Moorhead MN, died at home, on Friday, June 28, 2013, surrounded by family caregivers, under Hospice care, after a long battle with cancer.
Audrey was born on a farm near Baker, MN, to Gerald and Elizabeth (Quiggle) Griffin.

They raised their four children in Moorhead. The family has grown to include 10 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren and many special spouses as additions to the family.
She enjoyed spending time with the family and entertaining at home feeding a crowd. She loved spending time at the lakes in the summer and spending winters in Texas for many years. She has many friends whom she met in Texas and stayed in touch with and looked forward to seeing each year.
