Audrey McElligott Rauterkus
Audrey, age 89, passed peacefully with her family at her side on Sunday, 4/28/24, while under the long term care of LSL Passavant Community. She was preceded in death by her husband and love of her life of 64 years-Leo, her parents – Bill and Dorothy McElligott and her brothers – Billy and Jerry McElligott. She is survived by her sister Pat (Roy Kaiser) and numerous nieces, nephews and dear friends. Her legacy is her children and their spouses: Mark (Catherine Palmer), Mary Lee (Phil Majewski), Margie (Bill Guyer), Geri Ann (John McLaughlin) and Michele (Kevin Brickner). Her pride, joy and absolute adoration as their Nana were her 15 grandchildren and great grandson. Audrey was a woman of deep faith, endless positivity and bountiful love. She was happiest when playing bridge, visiting friends, swimming and traveling (especially to Disney World). We would like to thank the staff and her many friends at Passavant and In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to LSL Passavant Community or mail donations to Lutheran SeniorLife Foundation, 300 West Beaver Street Zelienople, PA 16063.

A Celebration of Life will be in summer of 2024, details to follow. Please remember Audrey with random acts of kindness, plenty of smiles, hugs and dancing at every opportunity.

My heart is filled with such sadness at the news of your mom’s passing…but then when I reflect upon the beauty and love that surrounded her for her entire wonderful life, and the precious legacy that she and your dad have left behind, my heart is filled with love. The memories I have of your mom from Penn Aqua, St. Bart’s, Penn Hills, game nights and girl scouts will stay with me forever. Thank you for sharing your mom with us!
We are so happy our family was able to meet and spend time with Audrey. May your loving memories of her help your hearts heal.
To all the Rauterkus Family, may you be surrounded by all the love and prayers to get you through this sad time. Your mom (grandma) was a delight and I have many fond memories of her from my high years and spending time at your home.
In your grieving I hope the love you share among your family is solace for your hearts.
