Surrounded by her daughters, Audrey J. Flanigan was lifted to heaven to dance with her husband, Junior, on February 2, 2019.
Audrey was born on October 28, 1931, to Wesley and Barbara McLean. Audrey was the youngest child of their four children. Audrey attended grade school on the Mizpah and later attended high school boarding in Broadus and graduating in 1949.
On May 20, 1952, Audrey married Francis "Junior" Flanigan at Audrey's family home on the Mizpah. They began their life together in the Coalwood community. Together they worked the family ranch and true to her Scottish heritage she loved her band of sheep. While working hard on the ranch they raised three daughters, Carole, Darlene and Sandy.
Audrey loved working with Junior on the ranch, raising her garden, and attending many community events. She especially enjoyed Coalwood Ladies Aide meetings, bowling, dancing at Fiddler's Jams and working at the Broadus Visitor's Center during her retirement years. Playing cards at the Senior Center was always fun for her and she was an active member of Eastern Star.
Audrey especially enjoyed seeing and visiting with her family, especially her grandchildren. She and Junior were very proud of them and enjoyed supporting them by attending their many recitals, sports events and rodeos. Being an avid quilter, Audrey made each grandchild a quilt when they graduated from high school.
Audrey is survived by her daughters Carole (David) Richards, Darlene (Ed) Songer, and Sandra (Bud) Williams. Her grandchildren and their families are Carla and Shannon Marinko and their children Patrick and Daniel, Jeff Considine, Wendy and Shawn Richards and their children Brandy and Dillon Wahl, Gabby, Ronnie and Johnny Richards, Kim and Todd Thompson and their son Tristan, Ashley and Radley Day and their son Kyler, Kori Williams and her children Kolton and Peyton, Taylor and Joey Williams and their sons Landon and Carson, brother-in-law Jake Flanigan, his wife Donna and numerous nieces and nephews.
