Audrey Wolverton

Audrey Laureen Wolverton, beloved wife, mother, daughter, and friend, passed away on January 12, 2026, in Salem, Arkansas. Born on November 26, 1986, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Audrey lived a life full of passion and purpose, making a significant impact on all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Audrey dedicated over twenty years to a career in healthcare, working as a lab technician at both White River Medical Center and Calico Rock Hospital. Her commitment to serving others was also reflected in her military service; she honorably served in the United States Army during Iraqi Freedom. Audrey's unwavering dedication to her work and her community showcased her strong character and compassionate spirit.

A true lover of life, Audrey had an innate passion for gardening and a deep affection for animals, including her cherished cat, Maverick. She found immense joy in spending time outdoors, nurturing her plants, and caring for all creatures great and small. Most importantly, Audrey adored her family, and her proudest accomplishments were shaped by the love she shared with her husband, Adam Cochran, and their three sons, Kaylen Wolverton, Keith Wolverton, and Eli Cochran, all of Salem, Arkansas.

Audrey is survived by her husband, Adam; their three sons; her parents, Dennis Martel of Colorado Springs, Colorado and Rebecca Cage of Agnos, Arkansas; two brothers, Paul Martel of Colorado Springs, Colorado and James Gage of Salem, Arkansas; and a sister, Babette Myers (Charlie) of Salem, Arkansas. She leaves behind many other relatives and friends who will forever treasure her memory.

Audrey's life was deeply enriched by her love for her family and friends, and she touched the lives of many through her kindness, dedication, and vibrant spirit. In mourning her passing, we also celebrate the legacy of love and compassion she has left behind. She was preceded in death by her beloved daughter, Emma Wolverton, whose memory will continue to live on in the hearts of those she touched.

As we remember Audrey, we honor a remarkable woman whose life exemplified strength, love, and an unwavering commitment to family and service. She will be profoundly missed but fondly remembered by all who knew her.
