She worked in hospitals in Newcastle, Sackville, Sarnia, Fredericton and Oromocto, as well as with the Province of New Brunswick, Public Health Department.

They have two children; Stephen Henry (Roxie) and Catherine LaRochelle (Wayne); also survived by grandchildren: Jessica Roy-Paul (Martine Roy), Justin Henry (Danielle), Ashlen (Kyle Albright), Hannah (Josh Stride) and Megan LaRochelle; and by six great-grandchildren (Matthew, Cascia, Romeo, Benjamin, Abigail, and Conrad). 

Aubrey is also survived by her sister, Dorothy Ann (Robert) Wilson of Miramichi; sisters-in-law, Myrna (late Sandy) Ross of Fredericton, Evlyn (late George) Flewelling of Saint John, and Eleanor (late Roy) McLeod of Ottawa; and several nieces and nephews.

Aubrey always enjoyed a good laugh, and people were drawn by her sense of humor and her warm heart. She was an active member of Nashwaaksis United Church, where she sat on numerous committees and bible study groups. She is a former member of the Fredericton Lioness Club, where she served as Treasurer for 20 years. Aubrey and Harold were founding members of the New Brunswick Christian Ashram, and served on its Board for 12 years.

Aubrey and Harold spent many years square dancing playing cards with friends as well as travelling. They had a wide circle of friends and enjoyed entertaining.
