She took pride in helping the sick and wore her heart on her sleeve.
Auria was beautiful free spirit who loved to spend time at the beach, reading a good book, and gardening. She was a godly woman who believed in the power of prayer and started every morning reading her bible with a good cup of coffee.

From her encouraging words to her warm hugs, Auria surely will be missed by many.
