It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Audrey Leavins Grubbs, who left us peacefully on Nov. 2, 2025, just a few days shy of her 79th birthday.

Born on Nov. 7, 1946, in Dixie County, Audrey spent her life bringing joy to those around her.

Audrey, nicknamed Peanut, retired as an accountant for Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in the hospital industry, known for her meticulous attention to detail and unwavering work ethic.

More importantly, she was a loving mother to her sons, Dean and Derek Grubbs, who were the pride and joy of her life.

Audrey’s love was felt not just by family, but by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

She loved fishing and crabbing along the Gulf coast.

A passionate sports fan, she never missed a chance to cheer on her favorite college football, baseball and basketball teams.

She cherished hosting and cooking for family and friends during the holidays and rarely didn’t have a camera to memorialize the occasions.

Audrey was very strong in her faith, and a longtime member of Celebration Baptist Church in Tallahassee.

She is survived by her two sons, Dean Grubbs, and wife, Adrianne Morrison, of Sopchoppy and Derek Grubbs of Quincy; a brother, Thomas Leavins, and wife, Joan, of Bradenton; and two grandchildren, DeeDee and Alice; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

Audrey was preceded in death by her parents, Aubrey and Wanell Falany Leavins, and a brother, Ronnie Leavins.

We invite all who knew and loved Audrey to honor her memory at a funeral service to be held on Friday, Nov. 7, at 3 p.m. at Burns Funeral Home of Perry.

Prior to the service, there will be a public visitation starting at 2 p.m., allowing friends and family to come together to share cherished memories and support one another in this time of loss.

Following the service, Audrey will be laid to rest in Woodlawn Cemetery, where her spirit can eternally enjoy the beauty, she loved so much.

Audrey Grubbs will always be remembered for her warmth, kindness and vibrant spirit.

She leaves behind a legacy of love that will continue to inspire all who were lucky enough to know her. Friends may send condolences to the family at www.joepburnsfuneralhomes.com.
