Timothy S. Audy

NORTHFIELD - Timothy “Tim” Scott Audy passed away peacefully on May 23, 2026, in Northfield, Vermont, at the age of 58.

Born in Central Vermont on April 27, 1968, Tim was the beloved son of Donna Colby Audy and John Audy Sr. He spent his childhood in Montpelier, Vermont, and graduated from Union 32 High School.

Tim was an avid sports fan from an early age. As a youth, he played a variety of sports and spent many afternoons playing basketball at the Recreation Center on Barre Street in Montpelier. He especially enjoyed following the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Boston Red Sox and often made one-dollar bets with his brother David over games and seasons. Tim also loved playing cribbage, a game he learned as a child from his grandfather, Lancer Utton, at the family’s Worcester Mountain camp.

Music was another great passion in Tim’s life. Eventually, he moved to Austin, Texas, where his love of music flourished. While living there, he played drums in the band “Orange Mothers” and immersed himself in the vibrant Austin music scene, especially enjoying the annual South by Southwest and Austin City Limits music festivals. Tim cherished any opportunity to listen to music or jam on the drums or guitar with friends.

After returning to Vermont from Texas, Tim reconnected with the love of his life, Elaine Soucie, in Connecticut. He frequently traveled by train between Vermont and Connecticut to visit her before eventually moving there and building a loving life together filled with laughter, playfulness, and the companionship of their adopted dog, Marley, until Elaine’s passing in September 2025.

Tim was known for his kind heart and compassionate nature. His caring spirit naturally led him to work at the Texas Schools for the Blind and Deaf while living in Austin, and later as a private in-home caregiver in New England for nearly 15 years. Tim carried his dedication to helping others throughout his life.

Tim is survived by his brothers, Mark Audy and his wife, Kathleen Kenworthy; Paul Audy; and John Audy Jr. and his wife, Kathy, all of Vermont. He is also survived by his brothers at heart, Tim Azarian and Mike Trombly, as well as his nieces and nephews: Joshua, Ashley, Erica, and Emmaline Audy; Grace (Alex) Gabaree; Jessica (Justin) Lapan and Makayla Audy; Madison, Collin, and Ethan Audy. He is also survived by his aunt, Barbara (Jeffrey) Hartman of Alabama, and his cousins, Shawn Davis of Maryland, and Sharon Davis and her husband, Michael Burke, of Vermont.

He was predeceased by his loving partner, Elaine Soucie; his mother, Donna Colby Audy; his father, John Audy Sr.; his brother, David Audy; and his uncle, Ernest “Ernie” W. Colby.

Tim will be remembered for his compassion, loyalty, and love for family and friends. His kindness and gentle spirit will be deeply missed.

A graveside service for Tim, along with his mother, Donna, will be held jointly on Friday, June 5, 2026, at 12:30 p.m. at the Worcester Village Cemetery, immediately followed by a Celebration of Life at the East Barre VFW Post 790.

Arrangements are in the care of Pruneau-Polli Funeral Home, 58 Summer St. in Barre.
