Audrey H. Koch

Audrey H. Koch, age 83 of Oshkosh, passed away peacefully at Ascension Mercy Hospital on Tuesday, April 16, 2024. She was born in Iola, WI on April 25, 1940 to the late Walter and Arlane (Beckland) Biedermann. Audrey was united in marriage on October 26, 1963 to Thomas Koch.

 Throughout her life, Audrey wore many hats - from being a compassionate nurse at Winnebago County Mental Health Institute, to a dedicated AVON representative, bringing beauty and joy to those around her, to her time spent diligently working at the US Bank file room, where she provided her services with warmth and a strong work ethic. However, the most important hat she wore was being a mother and grandmother. Audrey found peace and purpose in each role she took on, leaving a lasting impact on all those she encountered.

Throughout her life, Audrey found solace and joy in books, delving into countless stories that broadened her horizons and enriched her existence. Her passion for genealogy was a testament to her deep appreciation for her roots, fueling her quest to uncover and commemorate her family heritage. She had a deep appreciation for the Northwoods, especially visiting the cabin in Rhinelander.

Audrey is survived by her husband of 60 years, Thomas Koch; daughter, Janette (Robert) Kuhnz; grandchildren, Dustin and Ryan (Katie) Borgardt; brothers, Dennis (Judy) and Keith (Karen) Biedermann.

In addition to her parents, Audrey was preceded in death by her brother, Jerald Biedermann, and son-in-law, Daniel Borgardt.

A memorial service will take place at 1:00 p.m. on April 25, 2024, her first heavenly birthday, at Konrad-Behlman Funeral Home-Westside, 100 Lake Pointe Dr. Visitation will be held at the funeral home from 12:00 p.m. until the time of the service. The burial will take place at Lake View Memorial Park.

In lieu of flowers, a memorial will be established.

The Koch family would like to thank the ICU staff at Ascension Mercy Hospital-Oshkosh for the loving care provided to Audrey at such a difficult time.
