Audra May was born on December 18, 1974 and was carried home in a red Christmas stocking. From early childhood, Audra May was blessed with many gifts and talents which continued throughout her adult life. She enjoyed music, gymnastics, rock collecting, and especially fishing/camping.

Her talent of designing and building numerous rock gardens is evident in many areas of Pocatello. Trinket collecting of old bottles, computer expertise, swimming, reading and crocheting also occupied her time. She dearly loved her three children, Sarah, Rachel, and Noah. Her caring personality exuded love, friendliness, thoughtfulness and generosity to all with whom she came into contact. One of her favorite desserts was homemade tapioca pudding.
In 1992, Audra married Michael F. McColery and her first child, Sarah, was born. They were later divorced.
Her employment history includes her working as a cashier, waitress, and Avon representative. She attended classes at Idaho State University.

We will always love you in our hearts and remember you as the “Sunshine” in our lives…Nobody will ever fill the presence you made in our lives and how much we looked forward to seeing the inspirational thoughts that poured from you. We will always love you Audra!!–J&S
I will never forget times you visited me as a clerk, and listened to my problems, you made my time as a clerk worth while, someone intelligent to talk to… I needed someone to tell me my job was not just BS. Thank you Auda.
May every day from now on be full of sunshine for you, just as always you being close to me always did…

Dona my prayers are with you at this time. I bet my daughter has met your daughter in heaven and they are sharing all the stories of our lives! May God bless you! If you ever need a friend to talk to. Im here!
Thank you so much, but who are you? I know my precious Audra May will be waiting in Heaven for me, and ALL IS FORGIVEN. Jesus, You are awesome.
I’m so sorry to hear about Audra. She will be missed by many. We all love you Miss Sunshine!
It’s been four months since you left May May…and I swear almost every day you remind me of the good times we shared, the moist shoulders we often dried out together, (mostly mine were the dry shoulders but you and I weren’t as jaded as we liked to seem…)and at the times when things were no longer bearable and the future was less than bleak, you turned on the sunshine. Your often harsh tough slap back to reality was the only one I ever acknowledged…the only logical conclusion, the only voice I’d hear was yours. I can’t count the times you saved me from my worst enemy, my mind, or pulled me back into the boat when my self inflicted waves threatened to drown me….and not once, NOT ONCE , did I ever feel like you looked at me in judgment or dis appointment,,or disgust. The only thing I ever saw in your eyes was genuine concern and love of the truest friend I’ve ever had….everyday I am reminded how empty that spot in my heart is, you know the one that belongs to you.. I’m lost without you, lost to you, and lost from you….I miss you as much today as I did the first day, and the second, and the third…..I know that you’re not coming back, but I also kno that neither are we, so until I find you again ill just keep looking for you in those little glimpses I am allowed throughout my days, but I will not forget, nor will I let u fade, the pieces left with me will be the beams of light they were with you…and their light a candle in the window paying forward the gifts you once gave me. I Love you baby girl…
Always your Friend and sister,
Nikki
