Audrey Belle Keen

Audrey Keen, age 81, passed away unexpectedly but peacefully in her home in Mesa, Arizona on April 4th, 2024.

Audrey was born on February 8th, 1943 in Denlow, Missouri, to her father Herman Williams, and mother Ellen Sellars. She was one of five children: Steve Williams, Ben Sellars, Julie Brown, and Norma Jarrett.

Audrey had two beautiful children, Paul Kent Tucker Sr., and Whitney Martinez. Shortly after having her kids, she moved from Missouri to Arizona. She worked for numerous years at Hexcel, and then later in life kept busy by working at Fry’s. She retired at the age of 70.

In addition to her children, she had six grandsons and two step granddaughters who she loved deeply: Paul Kent Tucker Jr., Matthew Tucker, Edward Martinez Jr., Christopher Martinez, David Martinez, Joseph Martinez, Michelle Campbell, and Vanessa Callender. She was also a great grandmother to five!

Audrey lived a very happy life filled with her family, friends, neighbors, dogs, and her favorite activities. Any time you called Audrey, she would tell you that her dogs were sitting right on her lap and she enjoyed relaxing on her front patio with them. She was always being generous and gifting blankets she had sewn, quilts she had found from her favorite store JoAnns, or exciting finds she scored at the thrift store. Audrey often spoke about Missouri and how it was her favorite place. She beamed talking about those she loved and was always ready to extend her home to anyone who needed it. She will be missed immensely by all.

Per Audrey’s request, her ashes will be laid to rest in Missouri, at a later date. Details to follow.
