Audrey Beckley died Aug. 19, 2020, at the age of 77, after a brief fight with COVID-19.

Audrey dedicated decades of her life to philanthropy and service to Indiana University. She spent 28 years working as a medical technologist in Indianapolis, but service was always an important endeavor for her. She was an active volunteer in civic organizations and education, as well as at her church.

In 2007, Audrey was the recipient of the Gertrude Rich Award for her service to the IU Alumni Association. Gamma Phi Beta also honored her with a lifetime achievement award.

With her husband Ken Beckley, BS'62, she established the Kenneth A. Beckley and Audrey J. (Hofelich) Beckley Media Technology Fund at The Media School. The endowment finances technology and equipment needs in Franklin Hall. The Kenneth Beckley and Audrey (Hofelich) Beckley Studio is named in appreciation of their gift.
