AUDRA POWELL

Born on May 27, 1930, one of nine children born to William Spencer and Delphia Minda Childers Wells.

Audra was a loyal and faithful member of the Weirton Heights Church of Christ; she enjoyed being involved with the activities with her church family and passing down God’s word through the scriptures.

As a little girl, Audra had a love for animals. Growing up on a farm the importance of hard work and discipline, were ever- present throughout her daily routine, thus molding her into the woman she became.

She and her husband Chester who sadly passed on April 14, 2009, were always enjoying each other’s company, whether it was quilting together, spending time at local flea markets, camping, and hunting on the family property in Smithfield, WV, or introducing the values of her favorite book, the Bible which they have instilled in their family, resonating through the generations.

Audra was preceded in death by her parents, son James David Powell, brothers Edgar, Ralph, William Ray, Paul, Donald, and Harold Wells and step-brother Forrest Glenn Wells, sisters, Pearl Starkey and Garnet Wells, and step-sister, Amanda Wells.

Remembering her memory fondly with love and admiration are her children Carl (June Smith), Powell, Larry Powell, daughter Linda Darlene Corwin, grandchildren, April (Clinton) Simms, Christopher Powell, Brandy (Tim) Cooke, Ashley (Danny) Oneal, Brandon (Zarina) Corwin, eight great- grandchildren, and four great-great- grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.

Friends will be received Wednesday, February 7, 4 -7 pm at the Greco-Hertnick Funeral Home, 3219 Main Street, Weirton, WV. where funeral services will be celebrated on Thursday, February 8, at 11 am.

Minister Steve Smithbauer will officiate.
