Audrey Ann Selander (Duffy)
1933-2018
Audrey was at her home in Vero Beach, Florida where she passed peacefully from this life into heaven in the presence of her family on Wednesday, August 15, 2018.
Audrey was the youngest of seven children. She was born at home in Fairbank, Iowa in 1933 and was raised on the family farm. She was baptized at Immaculate Conception Church, a church built by her great grandfather. She attended 12 years of school at Immaculate Conception Catholic School and graduated as the valedictorian.
Audrey went to nursing school at Mercy Hospital School of Nursing in Dubuque, Iowa and finished as the valedictorian of her nursing school class as well. Shortly before her graduation she met Richard Alvin Selander the love of her life. They were married in Fairbank, Iowa at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church.

Audrey and Richard have made their home in Waterloo, Iowa, Edina, Minnesota, Birmingham, Michigan and Vero Beach, Florida.
Audrey continued to work as a Registered Nurse in Birmingham, Michigan in an obstetrics and gynecology practice as well as in a pediatric practice.
She lived life to be of service and could always be counted on to help in any way and every way she could. She loved the Lord, her crossword puzzles and a well written story, her garden, and her kitty and her dog.
She had a full life but always saved the best of herself for her family.

The VNA was founded over 40 years ago with the distinct mission of fulfilling the need to provide homecare for local residents of Indian River County. In its inception, the VNA of the Treasure Coast employed one nurse director and one home health aide. Together, they traveled to patients’ homes and provided clinic and personal care services. Fast forward to the present day, and the VNA now employs close to 400 clinical and administrative staff to help the community members with their needs.
As the VNA grew, as did the space needed. We currently house the Human Services Building directly located behind the Indian River Medical Center’s Emergency Room. In 2000, we opened our doors for our Hospice House, a 12-room state of the art facility privately nestled on hospital grounds.
Finally, the VNA again expanded its range of expertise with VNA Private Care – the agency’s private home care service line. This allows us to reach an even more residents and help more people with issues such as transportation, personal care and clinical care.
Today, our mission and values continue to focus on patient care, and we are proud of the ability to serve and help the members of our community.
