Audrey L. Feda, 89, passed away Wednesday, August 14, 2019 at Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital in Glasgow, Montana.
Audrey was born in Missoula, Montana to Robert and Edna (Fuller) Wingo. She attended grade school in Missoula, graduated from Hellgate High School, in 1947 and went to Western Union School in California. After a short time in Dillon, she was sent to Glasgow to manage the local Western Union Office; in fact, she was the manager during President Truman’s visit to Glasgow. She was raised by a single mother and she knew the value of hard work and even taught herself to drive as an adult.
It was in Glasgow she met Gerald “Jerry” Feda and they were married June 10, 1950, after a year and a half courtship. Jerry and Audrey settled in Glasgow and raised four children. They had a life full of adventures: from boating on Fort Peck to trips to Rome and Africa. A small part of their time was spent in Helena while Jerry was in the legislature and Audrey was able to experience another a circle of friends and activities. They set the standard when it came to marriage.
Audrey enjoyed her yard, playing with her bridge group, needlepoint, good books, crossword puzzles and sewing many of her daughters’ and her clothing. She loved her family and coffee. Her wit and humor were admired by those close.
She is preceded in death by her parents; infant daughter, Katherine; son, Daniel; sister, Barbara and brother, Gene.
Audrey is survived by Gerald, her husband of 69 years; daughters, Valerie (Duane) Bauch, Janice (John) Swanson and Donna Weise; grandchildren, Marie, Anne, Lisa, Julie, Joe, Beth, and Lana; 14 great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren.
