On January 24th, 2024, Audrey Lynn (Walles) Evans left us to join the next world. Audrey was born July 30, 1983 to Robert Walles and Jolene Gray Hawk in Salt Lake City, UT at Holy Cross Hospital. She joined three older sisters and was the baby for the longest time. She stayed the baby of the family until being joined by her younger brother and sisters.
Audrey lived the first few years of her life in Salt Lake City and then moved with her mother and sisters to Poplar, MT in 1989. Growing up in Poplar, Audrey and her sisters spent a lot of time playing outside, making up games and using their imagination to build rivers, streams, mud monsters and cutting mazes in their back yard. She spent a lot of time with her cousins, visiting and laughing. Many adventures were had growing up.
Audrey met her future husband Mike Evans when they were still teenagers. She always said Mike was her best friend. They moved to Billings, MT in 1999 and were married August 13, 2004. Together, they had Dylan, Aiden and Alyssa. Later, she adopted her nephew Luis who they lovingly call Weicho. Audrey had various bartending jobs, but working at the Lucky Cuss was one of her favorites. She worked there for about 10 years and had many loyal customers. She also worked as a Phlebotomist at St Vincents Hospital and Billings Clinic.
Audrey was always mothering everyone, giving words of wisdom and loved visiting, laughing and telling jokes. She was an avid story and joke teller. She loved having get together whether it was at her home, the lake or other places. She was always surrounded by people. She adopted many sisters and brothers, aunts and uncles during her lifetime. She liked to write and was a huge fan of the Dallas Cowboys. She loved beading, drawing and sewing and was very generous when giving her projects away.

My aunty Audrey was always loving and caring. She excepted me and my family in. She loved us as if we were blood. I remember very often going me and my family going over to her home and hanging out by the fire pit, telling ghost stories, laughing at the dumbest things. She made her home feel more homey then anywhere I’ve ever been in life. The amount of lake days, movie/vr nights,and nights spent out by the fire pit were endless. flash light tag hiding in the ditch and getting poked by every little blade of dry grass, running trying your best to be quiet and not be spotted. Every memory was a good memory. She made it that way. We will love you always and forever aunty ❤️ fly High and brighten that sky for us, just like you brightend our lives. 🕊
