Audrey Lynn Blackburn, 28, came into this world as
an angel on February 3, 1987, with curly blonde hair,
those stunning blue eyes, and a smile that was so infectious she made everyone smile. Her love and compassion
were evident with everyone she met, even if she only
knew you for a short amount of time. All who met her say
the same. The impact that she made on people will stay
with them a lifetime.
Audrey was a 2005 graduate from Pikeville High
School. In 2010, she received a Bachelor of Arts Degree
in English from Columbia University in New York. She was just getting ready to complete her
Masters Degree in English from Long Island University in New York.
She was employed with WyzAnt Tutoring, Teaching, and Coaching children. In 2012-2014,
she was a Special Education Teacher. Audrey stated that she enjoyed working with the "beautiful people". She also directed a play, which she said she loved and found it to be "utterly fundamental".
She tried to live her life carefree and happy. She had the opportunity to go to Europe where
she backpacked for almost a year experiencing adventure and making friends that she still remained in contact with and went for another visit the following year.
Audrey is gone from this place that we call life but will now experience a new life that will
allow her to have even greater adventure, love, and happiness. Preceding her in death is her
mother, Kathy Casey Blackburn, her Maternal Grandparents, Willis and Ruby Miller Casey,
and her Paternal Grandfather, Eddie Blackburn.
Those left behind to celebrate her life and memory is her Dad and Stepmom, Rick and Lesia

(Ashley) Cline, and Loren Swarz. In addition, are her grandmothers, Jean Boren and Carol Ball,
