Audrey Sears
Sept. 23, 1941-Jan. 22, 2026
Pleasanton, California

Audrey M. Sears passed away on Thursday, January 22, 2026 (84) at home with her family and hospice care close by.

Audrey was born in Berkeley to William T. Marsh and Alice D'Arcy Marsh. They lived in Walnut Creek in her early years and moved to Danville while attending San Ramon Valley High School. The family moved to Pleasanton in 1958 after losing their home in Danville because the state of California was purchasing property for a new highway, I-680.

She met the love of her life, William "Willie" Sears, while at SRVUHS. She drove on State Highway 21, now Foothill Road and San Ramon Blvd, her senior year as a Cheerleader at SRHS. She attended San Jose State for a year and then worked for an insurance agent in Hayward. After Willie finished his Army service, they married in 1964. With a short stay at an apartment, they bought their first home in Pleasanton. Audrey spent a lot of time with the two boys’ activities, PTA, sports, volunteering at the Livermore Hospital thrift shop, and the Pleasanton library.

Audrey is survived by her husband, son Scott (Lisa), son Todd (Nicole), and five grandchildren, Nathan, Tyler, Rachel, Maddie, and Ollie Sears; her older brother, George T. Marsh; and many cousins, nieces, and nephews. She wished to be cremated, no services.
