Audry J. Chickness, a beloved homemaker, passed away peacefully in her residence on January 11, 2026, at the age of 90. Born on February 7, 1935, in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, she lived a full and vibrant life.

Audry was cherished for her role as a homemaker, where she dedicated herself to her family with love and care. She had many interests that brought her joy, including cross stitching and doing word searches. She was an exceptional cook and loved to pamper her husband, John Chickness, who predeceased her.

Audry is survived by her son, Thomas Chickness and his wife Pam of Harmony, Pennsylvania, along with her son John L. Chickness, Jr. of Baden, Pennsylvania. Her legacy continues through her grandchildren: Andrea Chickness, Dr. Jason Chickness and his wife Karley, and Brooke Chickness-Quintero and her husband Christian.

Audry was the daughter of Steve and Rose Gula, both of whom have passed away as well.

Visitation will be held on January 16, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM, followed by a funeral service at 2:00 PM at Marion Nelson Funeral Home in Lake Wales, with reception to follow.

Audry will be laid to rest privately at Woodlawn Cemetery, Aliquippa, PA.
