Audré A. Katz

SARATOGA SPRINGS  —Audré A. Katz, 66, wife of Barry, passed away in the comfort of her Saratoga Lake home on Tuesday, June 4, 2024, where she had been under the care of her husband and Community Hospice.

Audré was born on November 30, 1957 in Fayetteville, NC, a daughter of Joseph and Rose Thomas Hough. Being born into a military family, Audré grew up in various locations around the world including Germany and Panama.  She was very proud of her travels and experiences during her upbringing.  Audré graduated from Westmoreland High School with the Class of 1976.  On June 18, 1988, Audré was united in marriage with Barry Katz at their home on Saratoga Lake.   

Through the years Audre has been employed in various retail outlets, most recently at BJ’s Wholesale of Wilton, NY.  Crafting brought Audré great enjoyment; she operated her own small business traveling around to various craft shows with her wares.  She created “wearable art” and also made custom ordered clothing for her customers.  She also liked craft journaling and quilting.  Cottage gardening was perhaps her greatest love, and one that allowed her to adorn the Saratoga Lake home she and Barry so much loved. 

Besides her husband Barry, she is survived by her beloved daughter Marie Rose (Eugene) Chance, and granddaughter Rose Marie Chance, of Schenectady, siblings: Joseph (Ellen) Hough, III, North Carolina, Cindy Lou (Brian) Solan, Madison, NY, Barbara Susan Carey, Rome, NY, several nieces, nephews and cousins.

Funeral services will be held on Monday, June 17, at 1 p.m. at Trainor Funeral Home, Inc., 143 Schuyler St. Boonville.  Interment will follow in Beechwood Cemetery, Forestport.  There will be a visitation at the funeral home on Monday from 11 a.m. until the service.
