Audrey I. Michaud

Audrey I. (Robinson) Michaud, 87, in Peabody, formerly of Danvers, died on Friday, December 27, 2024 after a three-year struggle with dementia. She leaves behind her loving husband of 52 years, Roger E. Michaud.

Audrey grew up in Lynn, attending St. Mary’s elementary and high schools.  She graduated from the Salem Hospital School of Nursing and earned her RN at Boston College.  Audrey took great pride in her role as a nurse, serving in multiple hospitals in the Lynn area.   She also enlisted in the US Air Force, retiring as a captain.  Audrey’s deep connection to her Catholic faith also led to a three-year period as a Religious Sister of Saint Joseph, before she rejoined lay life and continued her career in nursing.

Audrey was a lifelong athlete and loved tennis, boating, skiing and especially walking.  She was best known for her love of family and friends and dogs.  She was a favorite “Auntie” to her nieces and nephews, and to generations of children growing up in the Bayberry Road neighborhood in Danvers where she and Roger lived for fifty years.

Audrey had deep roots in Danforth, ME, where her grandmother Lottie Rowe and father Charles Robinson were raised.  The people and the beauty of Hot Brook Lake combined to form a happy place to which she returned as often as possible throughout her life.

In addition to her husband Roger, Audrey is survived by her nephew Mark Russell Prior and his wife Abby (Russell) of Concord, MA, niece Mary Beth (Prior) Coles and her husband Rob of Stoneham, MA, nephew Keith Prior and his wife Domingas (Silva) of Brockton, MA, nephew Robert Michaud and his wife Christine of Kingston, NH, niece Victoria (Michaud) Richard and her husband Eugene of Kingston, NH, as well as many other loving nieces and nephews. Audrey was predeceased by her sister, Louise C. (Robinson) Prior.
