Audrey Faith Kaup was born April 7, 1930 to Leonard and Wilma (Faubel) Galbraith in West Point.  She graduated from Wisner Public School in 1947, received teacher training and taught in country schools until marriage.  On June 20, 1950, at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in West Point, Audrey married the love of her life, Dennis Kaup.  Their love for each other was evident to all who knew them.  Audrey was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church and the Ladies Guild.

Audrey worked as a clerk at Tom’s Rexall Drug for many years, sharing her friendly smile with customers, but her most important job was raising their five children.  She was a devoted housewife and mother and as the years went by she was blessed with 15 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren.  Audrey liked to crochet and sew, enjoyed reading, loved to bake and could always feed whoever came to the house.
