January 6, 1929 ~ March 26, 2015
"It's my life and I'm going to live it." and live it she did!
Audrey Jean (Boling) Vest Ragle, 86, of Vancouver, Washington, passed away on March 26, 2015. She was born January 6, 1929, the next to the youngest child of a coal mining family in Prestonburg, Kentucky.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Fred and Dolly Boling; her brother, Harry; and sister, Hazel Boling. She is survived by her siblings, Woodsa Franklin, Mildred Ernest, Tot Higgins, and Horatio (Rashy) Bolling.
At the age of sixteen, Audrey married William Vest Jr. and they had six children. Three of them preceded her in death, Sammy, Johnny and Leah Denise Vest.
She is survived by three daughters, Dana Vest of Vancouver, Washington, Terry (Virgil) Volk of Minot, North Dakota and Toni Francisco (Rommel) of Vancouver, Washington; and her little dog, Benjy.
Audrey worked many jobs through the years, starting at the Kaiser ship yards in Vancouver, Washington as a teenager and finally retiring from the Pendleton Woolen Mills of Washougal, Washington.
After retiring, she married Charles D. Ragle and they had many happy years until his passing in 1997.
We would like to thank the staff at Discovery Rehab Center in Vancouver, Washington for the excellent and compassionate care that our mother received in the last three weeks of her life.
Audrey's wishes were to place her ashes with her son and daughter at Evergreen Memorial Gardens. A graveside service was held there on April 13th, 2015. A reception followed at her daughter, Toni's house in Vancouver, Washington.
"We love you mom, Beanie, Winkie and Miss Woo."
