Meet our
Resident of the Month
Georgia Audrey Rhoad was born
in Brauenlee, Neb., to George and
Ruth (Wagner) Peterson on Sept. 5,
1914. At the time, Audrey’s father
was a ranch-hand, and the family
lived in a sod house at the time of
her birth.
Growing up, Audrey was the middle
child of her family. Sadly, Audrey
is the only surviving member of
her family. Audrey’s father was
born Sioux City, Iowa, and her mother was born in Lincoln, Neb. At a young
age, Audrey’s parents separated and she and her siblings were raised by her
grandparents, James and Inez Wagner.
Audrey is the only surviving member of her family. After being very ill,
her younger brother passed away at the age of 23 and her older sister passed
away at the age of 97. Audrey suffered another loss in 2013, when her son,
Roger Schreiber, passed away at the age of 77.
According to Audrey, her ancestry can be traced back to the Whitney
bloodline from England and the Sahlbom bloodline from Sweden. She has
been married twice, first to Otto Schreiber, of the famous Schwinn Bicycle
family and then to Robert Rhoad. Robert worked for Lockheed Aircraft
famous for the P-38 Lighting bi-tail airplane.
Thank you, Audrey, for sharing your story and for being Community Springs
Healthcare Facility’s Resident of the Month for May 2015!
