Audrey was born on January 30, 1929 in Kansas City, KS to Aubrey and Florence (Watson) Dugger. She married the love of her life, Russell Davey on October 15, 1949. After working for King Radio for several years, she began driving a school bus for RW Harmon in the Olathe School District. Mrs. Davey was admired and loved by the students and was often requested for trips and events. She was an avid sports fan who enjoyed cheering on her Kansas City A’s, Royals, Chiefs, KU Basketball and favorite NASCAR drivers. Audrey and Russell enjoyed bowling together and she was ever so proud of her Perfect 300 game and All Spare game. In 1975 she began her cherished Hallmark ornament collection. One of her favorite pastimes was to bird watch, so much so that she could identify each one by their distinct songs.

Mrs. Davey was preceded in death by her husband of 60 years, Russell Davey; her parents Aubrey and Florence Dugger; 3 sisters, Helen Cunningham, Lois Bogle and Joyce Warman and 2 brothers, Earl Dugger and Dale Dugger.

Audrey is survived by her 3 children, Debbie Johnson and her husband Windell of Paola, Ed Davey and his wife Arleta of Olathe, Tracy Davey and her partner Joni of Spring Hill; 3 grandchildren, Heidi Versaw and her husband Larry, Brenton Davey and Ashton Davey; 2 great grandchildren, Jarred and Miranda Versaw and 1 sister, Joan Rothwell of Ottawa. Mom is finally holding Dad’s hand as they take walks together once again.
