DURDEN – Mrs. Audrey Wood Durden, age 80, of Warrenville, S.C., loving wife of Earl E.

(Vicky) Durden of North Augusta; grandchildren, Jason (Lisa) Durden, Jennifer (Austin) Bishop, Courtney (Jason) McLendon, Brent (Lauren Justice) Durden and six great grandchildren. She was born in Graniteville, S.C. and has been a lifelong resident of Aiken County. Up to her failing health, she was a dedicated member of Warrenville United Methodist Church. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend, with an unconditional love for her family. She shall be greatly missed by her family, friends and all whose lives she touched during the 80 precious years that God granted her on this earth; however, there is a consolation in knowing that life does not end with death, as God has promised eternal life for all who believe on Him. God looked down and decided that He needed another flower for His garden, so he picked Mrs. Durden; and earth’s loss is now Heaven’s gain.

A service celebrating her life and home going will be held on Tuesday, October 2, 2012 at 12:00 Noon at Warrenville United Methodist Church in Warrenville, S.C. with Rev. Alan Quarles officiating.
