Audrey Hamon

On Tuesday, April 22nd, 2025, Audrey Hamon suddenly passed away in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan at the age of 81.

She was predeceased by her parents, Edward and Mary Burtney, two of her brothers, Danny and Peter, and her husband, Wayne.

Audrey was the absolute definition of a Mom and all were welcome to her table. She found the most joy in phone calls, messages, and days spent with her children Jeff (Kendal) and Jennifer (Aaron) and her “grandcritters.” Even at 80 years young, Audrey would insist on tenting on camping trips so she could be with her kids whom she loved so much–just one of the many reasons why Kendal and Aaron bragged about winning the mother-in-law lottery.

Audrey found laughter in every situation, especially with her sister, Jean, visiting their brother Jack (Andorlie) and his family, or having coffee with her in-laws Marlo and Maggie and their family. She took pleasure in hearing about the accomplishments of her nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends of her children. She was everyone’s Mom, welcoming all to family meals that always featured way too much food and–of course–the best perogies and cabbage rolls!

If you were lucky enough to have met Audrey, you experienced the love she gave. She was a caring, humble soul who impacted all she met. Listening before talking, her caring nature always focused on others before herself. You may have been one of the many folks she happily helped while managing Forest Grove Village, someone she smiled at on her Tuesday outings with her sister, or perhaps–back in the 1980s–you were bounced out of the Big River Hotel bar by this five-foot force!

Audrey loved finding a sunny spot at the lake, a deck, or a cozy chair with a cup of coffee and a good book. Although quiet, gentle, and unassuming, she was an active participant in life who loved gardening, walking, and getting together with her dear friends at Circle Drive Place and Golden Manor. She built community by helping on social committees, hanging colourful Christmas lights, and beautifully decorating doors for neighbours to enjoy.

The family thanks the first responders for their care and dedication to their work.

A celebration of Audrey’s life will be held in the summer. She was happiest when she was giving to others, so if you are able, the family asks for donations in Audrey’s memory to the Saskatoon SPCA (saskatoonspca.com), Circle Drive Special Care Home (circledrivespecialcarehome.ca), or simply reaching out to help someone.

Martens Warman Funeral Home is honored to be entrusted with the care and arrangements for Audrey Hamon.
