  Audrey Sprenger 
  
  LEBANON Audrey Gray Sprenger, 74, passed away at her home on Thursday, November 
  11, 2010, following a long battle with cancer. Audrey was born on April 29, 
  1936, at Oak Hill, Kan., but grew up in Parsons, Kan. Her parents were Vincent 
  and Faye Fischer Gray. Her childhood was filled with love, joy, and excitement. 
  From the first grade to the completion of her Doctorate she excelled in her 
  educational endeavors. Her intelligence and caring personality were a blessing 
  to her many friends. Audrey was musically talented and participated in a 
  variety of high school activities. There was hardly a dance that she wasn't 
  invited to because of her grace and natural beauty. (This was duly noted by her 
  loving and devoted husband, Bill.) Audrey was a Christian and a lifelong active 
  member of the church. She taught Sunday School, served as Deacon, Elder, and 
  prayer group leader. She attended many church retreats, with her favorite being 
  CFO camps. Audrey and her husband, William, were married in Lyndon, Kan., and 
  moved to Shippensburg. She was a faculty member in the Teacher Education 
  Department and later Chairperson of the Department at Shippensburg University. 
  Upon retirement in 1999, she and her husband moved to Lebanon to be closer to 
  her daughter, Jennifer, and three grandchildren, whom she loved dearly. Audrey 
  graduated from Emporia State University with a B.S. and M.S. degree and in 1985 
  obtained her doctorate at Temple University. After graduating from Temple 
  University, she worked for three years for the West Virginia Department of 
  Education as Director of Teacher Certification. She often talked about how much 
  she liked working for the state department in West Virginia. Audrey's main 
  interests were education, reading, involvement in church, and loving her 
  children and grandchildren. She loved traveling with her husband and wintered 
  in New Mexico and South Carolina where her daughter, Debra, lives. Audrey is 
  survived by her husband, William, at home; daughters, Debbie Gee of Columbia, 
  S.C., Robin Wade of Lenexa, Kan., and Jennifer Evans of Richland; sons, Randall 
  Dawson of San Antonio, Texas, Karl Sprenger of Indiana, Pa., and Kurt Sprenger 
  of Fishersville, Va.; two brothers, Arnold Gray of Prescott, Ariz., and a 
  younger brother, Thomas Bayless in Parsons, Kan.; and 14 grandchildren, all of 
  whom will miss her loving presence. She was preceded in death by her sister, 
  Betty, who passed away July 30, 1998. Memorial services will be held on Monday, 
  November 15, 2010, at 1 p.m. from St. Andrews Presbyterian Church, 600 S. 12th
