Audrey Rose Morton Hendrix of Raeford died Saturday, November 18, 2023, surrounded by her daughters and grandchildren, at the age of 84.
She was born August 13, 1939 in Anson County to the late Aston and Leo Morton.
She spent many years being a homemaker, wife, and loving mother. When the kids were old enough, she went to work at Hoke County Schools (Hawkeye Sands) where she made many friends and loved children. Her passion was always her church, husband, and family. She loved going to church, spending time with those she loved, and gardening.
Her heart longed for the love of her life, Noah Hendrix Sr. So, Mom, as we say, "see you later." We know you are happiest seeing Jesus and Dad. Enjoy your stroll over Heaven.

Hendrix Jr.; grandchildren Keltys Jimmerson Jr., Audrey Nicole Jimmerson; great-grandson Austin Curtis Jimmerson; two sons-in-law, Kel Jimmerson Sr., and Keith Grantham Sr.; and siblings Charlie Morton, Louise Jones, Mickey Barnes, Geraldine Powers, and Vonnette (Bunny) Pate.
