* Audrey O. Eales; Partner in Lighting Firm
Audrey O. Eales of Ventura, a homemaker and former partner in a theatrical lighting firm in Los Angeles, died Sunday. She was 76.
Eales ran H.S. Eales Inc., which sold lighting supplies and electrical equipment, with her husband, Harold Stanley Eales, from 1956 to 1984, the year her husband died.
Harold Stanley Eales was a well-known track and field announcer and statistician in the Los Angeles area.
Besides spending time with her three children and two grandchildren, Audrey Eales had a great love for reading, gardening and painting, said her son, George Eales.
Before moving to Ventura last year, she was an active volunteer with Camp Fire Girls and the Westchester Lariats, a youth dance group.
She died at Community Memorial Hospital from complications after abdominal surgery, her son said.
In addition to George and the grandchildren, Audrey Eales is survived by two daughters, Barbara Eales of Ventura and Margaret Kingsbury of Bishop.
The family will hold a private memorial service Friday at the Ventura home of George and his wife, Wendy, a former property manager for Martin V. Smith in Oxnard.
Arrangements are by Ted Mayr Funeral Home, Ventura.
