Audrey Charlene Parker Young, age 92 of Arlington, Texas, passed away on February 27, 2019. She was born in Arlington on August 23, 1926, the daughter of John and Mable (Eaton) Parker.
Her adventurous and courageous nature led to horseback riding, barrel-racing, surfing, square dancing and travelling while her brilliance and persistence contributed to a successful career in business accounting and office management. She attended Arlington State College (now UTA) and served as the President of the Arlington chapter of the American Business Woman's Association for well over a decade.
A fourth generation Arlingtonite, she knew the history of Arlington first-hand and was active in the Arlington Historical Society. In her later years, Audrey's love for history expanded into her family's genealogy. She spent many years travelling, researching her family's history when that meant spending hours in courthouse basements and libraries, and later pioneered the transition to computers. She was an avid reader and gardener.
Family was everything to Audrey and she dedicated her life to it. She was a devoted wife, caring mother, loving grandmother and doting great-grandmother.
Audrey is survived by her son Paul Benson; grandchildren Chris Wayt, Paul Benson, Jr., Angela Hildeson, and Jason Benson; great grandchildren Rachel, Cody and Zoey Benson, and Jayme and Kassi Wayt. Audrey is preceded in death by her parents, her cherished and devoted husband of nearly 50 years Robert Jason Young Jr., and son J. R. (Bob) Benson.
