Audrey S. Longo (90) of Poughquag and formerly of Ossining NY passed away peacefully on February 16th, after a brief illness. Audrey was born in Ossining on December 13th, 1931, to the late Walter & Elizabeth Schumacher. Audrey married Claude Longo on March 24th, 1951, at
Saint Paul's Church, St. Paul's Place in Ossining, New York.
Audrey graduated from Ossining High School in 1950. During high school she danced at the
Frisbie School of Dancing and auditioned for the NYC Rockettes. She was an original member
of the Ossining Booster Club, a Girl Scout Leader, and was always involved with her children's
after school activities. She worked for many years at Readers Digest in Chappaqua and Saucy Susan in Briarcliff Manor, NY. Audrey could time her Sunday dinners perfectly to start at half
time during that Sunday's TV football game.
Upon her husband Claude's retirement from General Motors in 1982, they moved away from Ossining to Poughquag, NY in Dutchess County. Audrey immediately got involved with the local senior center and always looked forward to their trips to Broadway in NYC, the Catskills, and the Poconos in Pennsylvania. She was avid at knitting, sewing, crochet, Sunday dinners, and solving the daily crossword puzzles.
Audrey was predeceased in death by her husband Claude (1988) and her daughter Suzanne (2012). She is survived by her son Claude (Janet Tosi) of Spring Hill, Tennessee, her daughter
Priscilla (Stephen Lennox) of Yorktown Heights, NY and Suzanne's husband Bill Duke of
Stormville, NY. Also survived by nine grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren.
Audrey will be greatly missed by her family and friends. Funeral services will be private.
Interment will be at Dale Cemetery in Ossining, NY.
