Audrea Catherine DeLeon

Audrea was born in Silverton, Oregon on April 22, 2010 to Juan and Whitney DeLeon.  She lived in Salem as an infant, and the rest of her life in Jefferson, Oregon. Audrea attended several schools, including Jefferson Elementary, Crosshill Christian, Leslie Middle School and Sprague High School.

Audrea was passionate about playing volleyball. She played for several schools as well as club volleyball at CCE and G3, and loved every one of them. It was a joy to watch her play with fun and abandon, putting her whole being into each game. She was also an excellent teammate, encouraging other members of her team and making many friends along the way.

Audrea was full of life and fun. She had a beautiful smile, a huge laugh and a mischievous sense of humor. She was always lifting others up when they were down.  She also loved sunsets and Legos, especially Lego flowers.

She was taken from us far too soon in a tragic car accident. Her family finds comfort in the outpouring of love and support from so many, and from the knowledge that she is now in the arms of her Savior.

Audrea is survived by her parents, Juan and Whitney DeLeon, sister Nashea Wilson, and brothers Isaac DeLeon and Trenton Richards.
