Audree REES

Audree Rees – August 31, 1926 – August 27, 2023

Audree Rees, wife of Pete Rees passed away in March of 2022. She was an expert sailor, a pioneering woman and long term resident of Thetis Island, Clam Bay Road, passed away August 27th, 2023 at The Hamlets in Duncan, BC.

Audree was also pre-deceased by her sister Geraldine of Vancouver, who passed away August 1, 2023.

Audree was known to friends and family as a woman of determination – building the house with Pete that they lived in for over 55 years, the Rees Ranch as we knew it.  She was a supportive aunt to Jerry, Jan and Ken offering them new experiences away from city life, along with her sister Geraldine, when the kids were growing up. Pig roast Lū’au’s, horses, sheep, driving her Bentley around Thetis, a woman of diverse interests. 

Thank you to Merry and Arthur Gooding for being great friends and neighbors, and for Merry visiting Audree every week after Pete’s passing.  Special thanks to Maureen and Wayne Loiselle for their visits and celebrating milestones with Audree at the Hamlets. To Anne Marie for her friendship and Rick for flying with Pete and to continue to do so after Audree went to the Hamlets.  Pete really loved to fly!  The TIFD and Jeannine for their support and camaraderie – it meant so much to both Pete and Audree.

We hope Thetis Island residents will take a moment to think of Audree and Pete. They surely loved their life on Thetis Island.
