Elizabeth « Beth » Audas
1945-2019
Audas, Elizabeth (Beth), Truro, passed away Thursday, May 2,
2019 in the Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro, after a
lengthy illness. Born in Truro, NS March 27, 1945, she was a
daughter of the late Eileen (Fielding) Richards and the late Wilfred
Richards. Family met the world to Beth. Growing up, Beth
shared a special bond with her mother Eileen and sister Sharon. Her
mother adored the two girls and they all had fond memories working at
the Sugar Bowl on Inglis Street when the girls were in high school.
After graduating at age 16 from Colchester County Academy,
Beth received her Diploma from Success Business College and started
her career at the Royal Bank of Canada in Truro. The family
moved to New Glasgow and Beth enjoyed a lengthy career at Trenton
Works, initially as an administrative assistant to several managers
and later as the executive assistant to the CEO. Beth also
volunteered her time with the Cancer Society, Kids Helpline and the
Trinity United Church in New Glasgow, teaching Sunday school when her
kids were young. Beth had a natural flair when it came to cooking,
entertaining, decorating and gardening, spending many hours enjoying
her gardens. She had a wonderful flair for style and was
always showing off her latest ‘find’ from
Frenchies or a consignment shop. Beth also enjoyed cross country
skiing and spent many weekends skiing at Trenton Park or the
Abercrombie Golf course. She loved nature and had a special place in
her heart for the elderly and children. Animals were very dear to her
and she enjoyed spending time with Patriska, Jenny and Abby. Her
children will cherish many wonderful and happy times growing up;
summers at the beach, winter weekends skiing and our annual May long
weekend trek to PEI.
She is survived by her loving children, son Sean (Lorelei)
Audas, Bedford; daughter Jennifer Audas, Halifax; grandchildren
Matthew and Ashley Audas, Bedford; cherished sister Sharon (Lloyd)
Smith, Kelvin Grove PEI and their daughters Shannon, Kirsh and Vanessa
all of PEI; her first husband Charles (Bud) Audas.
She was predeceased by her second husband, Pierre
Poidevin.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Mattatall-Varner Funeral
Home, 55 Young Street, Truro. As per Beth’s wishes there
will not be a visitation or funeral and only a small celebration of
life for family and friends will occur. If so desired, donations in
Beth’s memory to the Colchester SPCA or a charity of choice
are welcomed. Sean, Jennifer and family would like to add a special
Thank You to Mom’s loving and lifelong friend Judy Fraser.
She has been an angel for Mom and tremendous support to us all.
