Audrey M. Hull

Audrey Mildred Hull passed away peacefully at 76 years old in her beautiful Moultonborough home on May 16, 2011. She was surrounded with the love of her family. Born in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, she was the daughter of Leslie Chase and Elizabeth Ward. Audrey grew up loving the outdoors, cooking, sewing, knitting, reading, and being with her friends and family. She graduated from Massachusetts General Hospital School of Nursing as a registered nurse and happily took care of others her whole life, both professionally and personally. Audrey met the man of her dreams, Courtlandt R. Hull (Buddy) in 1953. They spent 41 happy years together.
Audrey loved life and shared this joy with others. You could call her for medical advice, a gardening tip, a knitting lesson, a recipe for a sweet treat, or just for a chat. Audrey and her husband Buddy spent their early years living in Massachusetts with weekends spent in New Hampshire, before retiring to Moultonborough in 1994. Audrey, adventurous in spirit, was always willing to try out a new sport! Buddy and she traveled with the Moultonborough Snowmobile Club around the state. They boated and ice-skated on Lake Winnipesauke. They traveled to Alaska, Nova Scotia, and Bermuda. Audrey took great pride in her knitting projects and throughout the year could be found making a hat, sweater, blanket, belt, or scarf. She took classes to expand her artistic talents and made baskets and Ukrainian eggs. Audrey was always looking for new ways to be creative.
Audrey was active in the Moultonborough Methodist Church, the Moultonborough Women?s Club, and was on the Board of Directors for the Visiting Nurses? Association. She volunteered with health screenings and mentoring children in need at the Moultonborough Central School. Audrey could often be spotted in the Moultonborough Public Library, checking out the latest author. She was known to paddle out to a nearby island to pick blueberries and make delicious pies. She had fun exploring new places on the Spirit Rides. Audrey was sure to make new friends to the end of her days.
Audrey will long be remembered for her generosity, determination, intelligence, and love of others. She faced the challenges of her chronic illness with grace and courage. Her beloved husband Buddy (Courtlandt R Hull) predeceased her at his death on October 5, 1996.
