Beloved wife, mother, sister and friend Audrey Adelia Eder of Kemp, passed Feb. 8, 2023, at age 64, after a well-fought battle. Her admirable strength continued to the very end of her beautiful life.
Audrey was born the first day of fall Sept. 23, 1958, in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, New York City, N.Y., to Charles and Eileen Layne. She later moved to Menlo Park, N.J., where she spent her childhood.
She achieved her Associates Degree in Biology from Middlesex County College in New Jersey. 
After attaining her degree, she went to work at the Engelhard Corporation for 13 years as a Research Specialist conducting chemical research within the paper industry. But above all, her most cherished role in life was being a loving wife and mother.
Audrey is best known for her bubbly personality, larger-than-life smile, positivity, altruism, humility and most of all, her unwavering love for her family. 
She cherished lakeside sunsets, volunteered for various organizations, was elected and served as a Cedar Creek Country Club board member and adored her community. 
Not only was she a high school cheerleader, she also coached cheerleading, participated multiple times as team mom and became her children's biggest cheerleader at all their sporting events. Audrey also cheered on the New York Giants and enjoyed watching all sports. 
She loved beach days, flying kites and traveling the country with her husband. She baked decadent desserts, loved sweets and chocolate and was known to carry around her own sprinkles to liven up any ice cream. 
Audrey brightened up every room, cared deeply for others and was a beautiful, intelligent, classy, silly, creative, selfless, dedicated soul, whose light shined brighter than the fireworks she treasured. 
She impacted everyone she interacted with, as well as those who were lucky enough to know her.
Audrey was preceded in death by parents, stepmother Rosemary Layne and her father-in-law Robert Eder I.
She is survived by her dedicated and loving husband of 39 years Robert Eder II, daughters and sons-in-law Katrina and Andrew Gatlin and Kimberly and Marc Alcorn, son Robert Eder III and wife Lindsey Randolph, sister Nancy Gooding, brother Charles Layne and girlfriend Christine Corkery, brother and sister-in-law Timothy and Mary Layne, sister Tracey and husband Howie Mutz, mother-in-law Eleanor Eder, brother-in-law and sister-in-law Kenny and Carol Eder, sister-in-law Carrie Lombardo and many more family members and in-laws.
