Audrey Mounts grew up in the New Philadelphia area of Washington County. She was an only child who lost her father at an early age. She had to work part time while attending Indiana University and sent money home to help her mother.

She retired from the West Washington School Corporation where she taught English. She was an avid gardener, collector and historian. She volunteered at the Stevens Museum and was a member of the Historical Society. She loved to work in her flower garden and she collected glassware, china, antiques, and she saved many cards and pictures that she received from former students.

This fund was established to help students attend college. Audrey’s dream was to help others attend college, so that they would not have to struggle the way that she did and also to teach others to give back to their community.
