Audrey Marie Trybula was born May 18, 1942, in Owen, the daughter of Henry G. and Julia M. (Scharenbrock) Trybula. She was raised on the family farm in Willard, and received her education in Greenwood. Audrey was united in marriage to LaVerne A. “Chico” Gregorich on April 4, 1959, at Holy Family Catholic Church in Willard. They moved to Fairbanks, Alaska, and lived there for six years until moving back to Willard in 1965 to farm. They farmed until 2004, at which time they built a home just east of the farm on the hill. After her husband’s death on Aug. 12, 2012, Audrey remained at home until February 2026.

She was a member of Holy Family Catholic Church, where she taught CCD for many years.
