I would like to thank everyone for their love, support and respect for my mother,  Audrey P. May. She was an inspiration for me, my brother and many others with whom she shared a lifetime of laughter, love, and learning.  It still hurts me to think that I can't sit with her and just talk like we would. I know she is in a place now where she is loved and comfortable and yet missed dearly every day.  Though she isn't here physically, she was an energetic soul and energy doesn't simply just go away. Her energy will spread through us all and empower us to keep striving to be better, do great things, and further inspire those around us. They don't prepare you for this in life but I want thank all of the family and friends for their kind words and love. Thank you all and thank you Mom. These words I leave in loving memory of Audrey P. May. 

So sorry, I truly loved my cousin Audrey.

I am truly blessed to have share a special friendship Audrey. 

Audrey entered in my life 1994 and hired me in 1/1995 on Challenger Memorial Youth. I learned so much from her over the years I worked with her. 

Our children are the same ages and our oldest graduated the same year and school.

I was so proud of her when she became Principal; sad when she left Challenger.

Audrey was a strong woman on integrity. 

Audrey, you will be missed of all the life’s you have touch, including you birthday and Christmas cards.

I truly know you are in better place.... 

May God continue to bless your beautiful sons.

Much love 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜



Affectionately: “Old Buck”
We are going to miss that strong voice of support and laughter that you shared with the Family. You have always had a positive and persistent determination to succeed. That strong persistence is why you were affectionately given the nickname “Old Buck” by our Mother.

We anxiously watched and followed your life as you set your goals that led from Miss Utica Junior College, Miss Alcorn State University, and pursing a Graduate Degree from the prestigious Pepperdine University in California. It is also noteworthy, that you accomplished your goals while raising two great sons.

Laughter and great times we shared on your visits from California to Mississippi reminiscing about the old days and enjoying delicious family dinners, those are such precious memories. We enjoyed hearing that beautiful voice as you sang those spirituals that touched your heart. That’s not all, when the families gathered, that house was filled with the happiness of siblings, cousins, and grandchildren. All of the children gathering at our Mother’s house brought great joy to her heart.  
 
May you rest in peace (“Old Buck”)

Larger Than Life
It is a struggle to find words that even remotely encompass the essence of all that you are and what you mean to this family.  Summers filled with colorful moo-moos, coffee and cake for breakfast.  Talking about life and asking questions, leaning back in your chair, listening, reading me with those eyes...then that smile.  The way that only you made Uncle Reece smile and Grandma laugh out loud.  Grandma’s wild buck, Ms. Alcorn State University, leaving those piney woods heading west and not stopping until the road met the ocean, Pepperdine graduate and boy mom.  The one that you would pick up and spin around until we both were dizzy loves you forever and thinks of you always.

Heartfelt sympathy and prayers for the family of Audrey Pack May.  May God strengthen your hearts and provide comfort to your wounded souls. Audrey was a very gracious and kindhearted lady who set her sights high and always encouraged others to seek opportunities for career development. She had a magnetic smile and warm personality that made you want to get to know her better. 
Rest in Heavenly Peace, my dear friend and former special education administrator at Barry J. Nidorf School.
