Audrey Ann Jevit, 92, Passes Away in East Stroudsburg
Audrey Ann Jevit, a beloved figure in the East Stroudsburg community, passed away on Monday, October 12, 2026, at the Lehigh Valley Hospice House. She was 92 years old.
A Legacy of Family and Friendship
Born into a close-knit family, Audrey was a daughter, sister, aunt, and devoted wife to John Jevit. The couple shared a deep bond, reveling in their love for dogs, travel, and cherished moments with friends and family. They frequently visited her sister Eleanore in Lancaster and enjoyed shopping at various outlets in the Lancaster and Reading areas.
“All holidays were spent with the Maxwell family, particularly at Christmas and Easter in Plymouth, PA,” said a family member.
The Jevit household was known for its legendary parties, where John took on the role of grill master and Audrey showcased her culinary skills, particularly her cookies and side dishes. Their summer gatherings were particularly memorable, often culminating in competitive pool games in the basement.
Adapting to Life After Loss
Following John’s passing, Audrey faced the challenges of adjusting to life alone, especially as she did not drive. However, she found solace in the support of her neighbors, her sister Eleanor’s children, and her late husband’s cousin. Despite the changes, Audrey maintained her passion for cooking, continuing to uphold family traditions, especially during the Christmas season.
In her later years, Audrey became an avid puzzle creator and dedicated a room in her home to her collection of puzzles. She remained engaged with the world around her, never missing the local evening news or her favorite shows.
Reunited with Loved Ones
Audrey’s health declined following the loss of her great aunt in 2023 and her sister Eleanore in 2025, marking a poignant shift in her life. In her final days, she was comforted by the caring staff at the Hospice in the Lycoming Hospital System, finding peace in the reunion with her husband and loved ones.
Survived by Family
Audrey is survived by her niece and nephews—Maureen, James, and Kenneth Maxwell—and her great-grandson, Dylan Simon. Additionally, she leaves behind her husband’s cousin, Rusty Hovick, and his wife, Patty, along with many extended family members in the Wilkes-Barre area.
