Audrey Carol Scoles, 69, Orofino
Audrey Carol Scoles, 69, passed on April 11, 2009, to be with her previously deceased father, mother and sister. Audrey was delivered into this world on the kitchen table, July, 15, 1939; born to Arthur and Opha Vignery of Caldwell. Audrey was a little sister to Betty Harris and brother, Wayne Vignery.
Audrey was raised in Idaho, Oregon and Washington State. If you were lucky enough to have known Audrey, you know she was a special lady that never knew a stranger. She always gave that second chance and was known to frequently invite a person to her home for a holiday meal if she knew they were spending it alone.
It was a testament to her tenacious spirit that she was a multiple cancer survivor of over 30 years. Her family has always felt blessed to enjoy her upbeat spirit and personality these many years.
Audrey's life passions were her family, traveling, camping and reading. She loved Westerns on television and always had one on in the background.
Audrey owned and managed several businesses in Orofino before her retirement due to health reasons. She was well liked by her customers. Audrey was very civic minded and in her own way, supported her home town of Orofino and the people she felt needed help.
Enjoying her friends and family was the primary spark that kept her going and as her health diminished, Audrey was unable to get out and about as often as she liked and was always appreciative to those that were able to take time out of their lives to visit her and was thankful for the special things done for her. Betty Crutcher's visits with her fresh baked bread and cookies probably added several years to her life.
Audrey was preceded in death by her sister, Betty Harris; companion, Douglas Walker; and former husband, Robert Scoles. Audrey is survived by her ex-husband and good friend, Roger Fisk of Orofino; a brother Gerald Wayne Vignery of Bennington, KN; and her four children, Viva Davis of Port Hadlock, WA; Debra Ehlinger of Scottsdale, AZ; Roger Fisk, Jr. of Poulsbo, WA and Carol Anderson of Orofino.
Audrey was blessed with seven grandchildren, two great grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. We, her surviving clan, were blessed to have her as our mother, wife and grandmother. We will forever miss her caring, giving way and her spiritual energy.
Audrey's family would like to thank all the wonderful care-givers, doctors and nurses for their attention and assistance to her. Yours' is sometimes a thankless job that we acknowledge with our grateful appreciation.
Audrey has requested that in lieu of flowers, donations in her memory be made to the Sister Stephanie Wardle Scholarship via the Clearwater Valley Hospital Mission Committee.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday, April 16, at Pine Hills Funeral Chapel in Orofino. Pine Hills Funeral Chapel is caring for arrangements.

Bob lived for his family. He loved to watch ball games, boating, dancing with wife, taking trips to the Oregon and Washington coast, and spending time with friends. When his health began to fail, his love for his family remained a priority. He and Doris rarely missed seeing a ball game when a grandchild was playing, whether it was football, basketball or volleyball. He was there to watch and loved every second.
