Audrey Lee Griffin

May 7, 1940 — July 28, 2017

Audrey Griffin passed into the hands of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Friday, July 28, 2017. She was 77.

Audrey was born in Richmond, Virginia on May 7, 1940 and was of the Baptist faith. She founded and operated Griffin Tax Service in Centerville for 22 years where she was beloved by clients for her patient counseling on financial issues. She was on the Board of Directors for both the National Association of Enrolled Agents and Georgia Association of Enrolled Agents. Always looking to support up and coming tax professionals, Audrey co-founded the Educational Foundation for the GAEA, as well.

In her free time, she enjoyed being involved in crochet groups, quilting, and canning pickles and preserves. Audrey was also an avid collector of angels having been considered an angel herself by countless people. She tirelessly served her community in several ways as she served on the Board of Directors for the local Habitat for Humanity and Meals on Wheels. Audrey was also a dedicated advocate for those battling cancer and was on the Board of Directors for Georgia Cancer Friends Foundation, Inc. Audrey herself, fought hard in the last few years with her fourth bout of cancer. She was an inspiration and mentor to many who were actively fighting, had fought, and families of those who fought cancer, and will be sadly missed by each person whose life she touched. She didn’t fight because of her fear of death, but for her love of life.

Audrey was preceded in death by her parents, William and Blanche Rawls Smith.

Her memory will forever be treasured by her loving husband of 48 years, Richard Franklin Griffin of Warner Robins; children, Kimberly Griffin of Richmond, Virginia and Richard Griffin (Amy) of Monument, Colorado; grandchildren, Megan Vanbencoten (John), and Anna and William Griffin; and siblings, Wilmuth Loyall-Hobson (Lloyd) and Leigh Smith (Linda), both of Mechanicsville, Virginia.
