Audrey Bielser-McKendry Obituary
A graduate of the ABC Academy in Corte Madera, Ca., she received her Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration from Dominican College in San Rafael, Ca.
In 1993 she left a highly successful career in title insurance services in the Bay Area to move to Reno to be near her brother, Chris and her father, Bill. Her business training proved very useful as she moved into Nevada's hotel management and casino industries. Many of Audrey's co-workers at Harrah's Reno have remained close friends.
Audrey spent her leisure time cooking, riding her horse in Washoe Valley and snow skiing as well as helping anyone she met that needed assistance.
When Audrey married John McKendry she met her match. They enjoyed each other's company and did everything together.
She'll be remembered by family and friends for her endless enthusiasm, beautiful smile and willingness to take on any project that needed to be done.
Audrey is survived by her husband, John McKendry; father William J. Bielser and step-mother Candice Pearce-Bielser; mother Cindy Bielser; brothers Christopher and Ashley Bielser; niece Anastasia and nephew Nicholas Bielser, all of Reno.
Her grandmother Merriam Wilson resides in Redwood City, Ca.
A private reception for friends and relatives celebrating Audrey's life will be held on Saturday, Oct. 30. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to your favorite charity.

Hi, my name is Debbie Anderson, formerly Debbie Fuller, and I knew Audrey thru our mutual best friends, Tish and Jack LeTerneau. Audrey was an inspiration to many and was always willing to lend a helping hand. She helped my daughter and I when we moved from Carson City to Reno to live in the same apartment complex as she resided in. She had a zest for cooking and always created yummy things from scratch!! I hate clams, but I loved them when she made them. I remember her smile and the impish gleam she would get in her eyes when she was about to do something naughty! She was strong and willful, but she had a very giving nature and would help before being asked. She was a wonderful listener. I'll never forget her steaks and salads that she would just whip up at a moments notice, nor the stuffed mushrooms and awesome bean dip she made. I only shared a very small part of her life, but it will always be remembered. My sincere condolences to you, her family, in your loss. Debbie Anderson, Liberty Lake, WA.

Audrey will be missed by many. I remember her as a free spirited woman. She did have a good heart and would do anything to help someone out. She helped me out. I will always remember her.
