Audrey Davis
Former counsellor and
facilitator
Audrey grew up in England, later moving to
Canada and, after spending some time on the east
coast, settling in BC.
When her three sons were teenagers, Audrey
enrolled in full-time studies at Simon Fraser
University and UBC, receiving Bachelor's degrees in
Psychology and Social Work and, later, a Master's
degree in Gerontology.
Audrey lived in Vancouver for many years,
working in the Continuing Care Program at the
Vancouver Health Department as a case manager,
social work consultant, and program manager. She
enjoyed working with seniors especially when
focusing on the needs of family caregivers.
In 1996 she decided to move from the hectic city
to the more peaceful rural setting of the Cowichan
Valley. She lives quietly with her cocker spaniel,
Toby, enjoying nature, her flower garden, music and
books. Once an enthusiastic sailor, she loves to be
close to the ocean.
Audrey feels very fortunate to have crossed
paths with Ranjana and become involved with the
Society. She says that her work with caregivers
makes her feel part of something very special. "I
really enjoy working with caregiving families. It
seems as though all my previous training and
experience, as well as my personal values and
spirituality, are condensed into this particular
time and place. It feels very comfortable and
rewarding".
