Audrey Ann Long, age 86, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, June 1, 2021, at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Appleton. Audrey was born in Little Chute on April 4, 1935, to the late Harold and Nell Marie (Van Boxtel) Hopfensperger. On October 26, 1954, she was united in marriage with Patrick T. Long in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The couple enjoyed 58 amazing years together until Pat's passing in 2010. Audrey worked in the retail business for both Pranges and Younkers for 25 years where she met so many wonderful friends. She developed her love of quilting thanks to her dearest friend, Sue. This hobby was her passion in retirement. She also enjoyed many hours serving loved ones in her home which she was continually "updating" – as she called it.

She is further survived by many nieces and nephews.
