Audrey Jean (Wilber) MALLORY 

August 19, 1927 ~ October 4, 2009 Audrey lived her 82 years with 
tremendous strength of character. She was proud, loyal, fiercely 
determined, and unfailingly generous with her time and energy. Born in 
Spokane, WA, her family relocated to Seattle where she attended 
Ballard High School (Class of '45). She married her high school 
sweetheart, Marshall Mallory in 1947. They had three children and 
eventually settled in Bellevue, WA. When the children were old enough, 
she resumed her studies at the University of Washington, graduating 
with honors. She worked for the Veteran's Administration, where she 
was honored for the empathy and energy she devoted to each and every 
veteran she assisted. At 50 years of age she joined the Peace Corps 
and spent 2 years in the Marshall Islands, a life changing experience. 
She volunteered for many organizations over the years, but developed a 
special fondness for her work at the Humane Society, adopting dogs 
with limited prospects. Our beloved matriarch, Audrey, is survived by: 
her sister, Ruth Newell, her children, Michael Mallory, Tenny 
Mallory-Canning and David Mallory, seven grandchildren, four great 
grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews. A service celebrating 
Audrey's life: Interfaith Community Church, 1763 NW 62nd Street, 
Seattle, WA 98107 Sunday, October 11, 3:00-5:00 p.m. In lieu of 
flowers, contributions to the Humane Society.
