Notes:  Audrey Walker was born 9 Apr 1924 in Eureka, Juab, Utah.  She was the fourth of five children of Owen Francis Walker and Sarah Adleen Craw.  She had an older sister Ellen Mae born in Mar 1917; an older brother Owen Craw born in Dec 1919; an older sister Audrey born in Apr 1924; and a younger brother William.

In the 1930 U.S. census, the family was living on County Road, Pioche.  Her father Owen was a laborer in the mining industry.  The children were May, 13, Owen, 10, Wanda, 8, Audrey, 6, and Billy, 3.  The family was renting their house and the older three children were in school.

Audrey Walker graduated from eighth grade from the Pioche grammar school on 25 May 1938.

On 9 Sep 1939, Audrey was a charter initiate in the Mary Theta Rho Club No. 4 of Pioche, and was installed as outside guard.  Her mother Adeline Walker, past president of the Rebekah Lodge assisted, and her sister Wanda Walker was installed as secretary.  In 1940, Wanda was warden; and in 1942 Audrey was the left supporter to the vice president.

In the 1940 U.S. census, Wanda was living with her family in Pioche in the same house as in 1935.  They owned the house, worth $2,000.  Her father Owen was a waiter mechanic in a lead zinc mine.  The children at home were Craw, 20, an underground miner, one year of college; Wanda, 18, 2 years of high school; Audrey, 16, one year of high school; and William, 13, five years of school.

Audrey Walker married Harold E. McLeod on 12 Jul 1932 in Los Angeles County, California.  In the 1957 Las Vegas, Nevada, City Directory, Audrey and Harold were living at 2532 Perliter Ave., North Las Vegas.  Harold was an electrical foreman at Nellis Air Force Base.

Audrey and Herald probably had four children, as deduced from Harold's obituary.  Their son Bruce Owen McLeod, born 1 Feb 1960, lived only seven hours, dying of a ruptured hyaline membrane.  He is buried in the Mt. View Gardens of Memory, Las Vegas, Nevada.

Before 1970, Audrey was single again.  Her later addresses included 4650 W. Oakley Blvd., Las Vegas.  Audrey died 18 Oct 1991 in Las Vegas, Clark, Nevada.  She is buried in the Bunkers Memory Gardens Cemetery, Las Vegas, Nevada.
