I was one of Mrs. Blair's Queen Elizabeth kindergarten graduates back in 1970.. In fact, I still have my framed Bachelor of Rhymes certificate that my mom tucked away!. I have very fond memories of her class- especially the fingerpainting. She was an awesome first teacher, who still showed an interest in her former pupils years later.
Greg and family, sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. Remember her from 3 years of delivering Audrey and your dad the Ottawa journal . She always spoke , remembered me and told me how you were doing when I would see her and your dad up town . Duane & Laurie Clark .
Greg, sorry to hear about your mom's passing. Like many, I remember her initially from kindergarten class trying to give us wild kids some sort of structure to move ahead with. Lots of memories of your mom and dad, from high school days, running into them on Lewis Street after church, and their visits to us in Waterloo. Hope you and the kids retain lots of fond memories moving forward.
My deepest condolences to Barb and family, July and family, Jim and family and all of Audrey's family. I am sorry I couldn't make it yesterday. You are all in my thoughts and prayers at this sad and difficult time. Audrey will be missed by so many. Hugs to all.
On behalf of her friends and fellow teaching colleagues please accept our sincere sympathy. She was a member of the Lanark Branch of Entente Education Canada (formerly the Retired Teachers of Ontario) and in her memory our branch will be making a donation to the Entente Foundation. The Foundation funds projects that help to improve the aging experience for Canadians.
On a personal note, I had the pleasure of working with Audrey at The Stewart School, she was a lovely person and teacher.

I was saddened to learn of Audrey’s passing. My sincere condolences go out to her family. I got to know Audrey much better when my mother (Lois Robertson Healey, a first cousin of Audrey) went into Lanark Lifestyles. Audrey was there to welcome her and keep her company, especially during those dark days of Covid. Knowing that Audrey was there to be with Mom certainly helped to put my mind at rest. After Mom’s passing, I kept in touch with Audrey. We had several good visits talking about our shared enjoyment of knitting and crocheting as well as getting caught up on family news. Rest in peace dear Audrey. I am sure you and Mom are having good visits in heaven!

Sincere condolences to all of Audrey’s family. She will always be Miss McCord to me because she taught me in Kindergarden at Stewart School. She was a wonderful teacher and over the years she was always so happy to see one of her students. She will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Audrey was our daughter Melissa's Kindergarten teacher in 1986 and a fellow teacher of mine at The Stewart School for over 20 years. She was a very dedicated teacher and a lovely lady.

Dear Greg and family please accept my condolence. Mrs Blair was my kindergarten teacher 57 years ago. Please take comfort in knowing that she leaves a lasting legacy of knowledge, kindness, and inspiration. She was more than a teacher, serving as a mentor who believed in students, changed lives, and created a warm, impactful classroom environment as she left an indelible mark on generations.
Mrs. Blair (Audrey) was my favourite kindergarten teacher - although I was only at QE for two months before moving to Kingston. I still have the parting gift she and my classmates gave me when I left. Audrey was a lovely person and a friend of the family for many years. My condolences to all the family.

Audrey taught both of our children. She was a wonderful teacher and lovely person. Whenever we met she wanted to know about Leigh and Gord. Our deepest condolences to all of her family and friends.
