The daughter of Arthur and Elsie (Neitzel) Short, Audrey was born on April 1, 1924, in Granton, Wisconsin, and was raised on the family farm. She graduated from Granton High School in 1941 and then attended and graduated from the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point with a degree in teaching education. Audrey enjoyed teaching children of all ages and pursued her vocation at schools in Wausau, Milwaukee, and Madison.
Audrey met Allan Troemner at a local dance and in June of 1959 they were united in marriage. They lived in Madison for a short time while their future home was being built in DeForest, and Audrey continued teaching until they started a family.

In addition, Audrey helped Allan with their small part-time tree nursey and orchard business they operated on their property.

Audrey was a striking women of grace, dignity and angular stature. A model for her family, devoting her life to others. I smile as I look back upon my fond memories of Audrey from my teen years with Rosemary. Condolences to all.

I was a kid living across the road when the country home was being built. That was in the early 60s. I have a lot of fond memories from her. Sorry to hear of her passing David Hultman
