Not sure what to say?

Audrey, like her husband Dick, was a person great energy and many and varied talents who was always a pleasure to be around. She will be missed by all who knew her.

I remember Mrs. Combs as our neighbor, piano teacher and friend. She was always so cheerful and encouraging to me, and I have found memories of playing with Becky and Melanie.

Audrey was an inspiration to me. So strong and positive and live. We were all truly blessed to have known her.

So very sorry I knew Audeey At swim program and at church

Dear Combs Family,

"Mrs. Combs," as we called her, was the piano teacher to me and my siblings and several friends for years and years. I especially remember having duet lessons with Louise Casada Hillery. Mrs. Combs was much more than a teacher; she was an adult friend. She gave us graduation gifts at the end of high school. THank you to thwe Combs family for sharing her with many other young people. I was glad to learn through others that she enjoyed retirement in Florida for some...

Our sincere condolences to to you. We remember Audrey fondly for her support of Dick when he was Chancellor. She was a gracious hostess at the many University events. She is remembered also for her community activities and her love of music.
Chancellor Emeritus James and Professor Erna Yackel

Aud was an irrepressible force, a boundless source of love and energy. If the measure of a person is the lives touched and made better, she was a giant. May the love that she spread so freely reflect back on Becky, Bob, and her grand and great grand kids in an enveloping wave.

Dear Becky and Audrey's family,
Audrey was a great friend, a fun and spirited colleague in symphony volunteer endeavors, a fine musician and piano teacher, a lover of children, and a role model for many of us who were a generation down. I know she will be missed, but her spirit carries on.
