Audrey Denise Szoka, 55, of Windsor, beloved daughter of Roy Szoka and the late Joyce Schreffler, entered into eternal peace on Saturday, June 18, 2022 at Hartford Hospital after a long illness. She was born in Springfield, MA on April 2, 1967 and grew up in Enfield. She graduated from Fermi High School with honors in 1985. She had a quick wit and a dry sense of humor.

Outside of work, she was an avid fan of the Green Bay Packers, having the privilege of attending a game in Oahu. Audrey also was an avid NASCAR fan. She enjoyed attending NASCAR races with her co-workers from Casual Corner and her vacation trips to San Francisco and Cancun, Mexico. She had an affinity for shoes, having quite an extensive collection.
