Obituary
Audrey Louise Rowland, 88, passed away Thursday, September 3, 2015 at the Mennonite Friendship Communities in South Hutchinson, KS. She was born March 25, 1927 to Harry and Inez Priddy in the Liberal, KS area. The family settled in rural Cullison, KS, where her father farmed.
She graduated from Cullison High School and attended Southwestern College. There she met her husband of 67 years, J.D. Rowland.

They then resided in Newton, KS for over 20 years, Rogers, AR, for 20 years and Hutchinson, KS, for 5 years. In each locale, Audrey and J.D. sought to be a vital part of their church activities. Audrey also participated in P.E.O., Eastern Star and the Saints Alive Choir.
J.D. and Audrey traveled through much of the United States and enjoyed several trips to Europe and Canada. Audrey loved to sing, frequently singing while attending to her home, as well as singing with small choral groups. She played a number of instruments: organ, violin, piano, and trombone. Her love of art led to drawing painting, quilting, square dancing, and other creative endeavors.
