- Summary
-
Audrey Moore Stewart (1910-2018) graduated in 1932 with a degree in Journalism. She took some graduate courses and finished a second BA in English in 1934. Audrey joined the Alpha Delta Theta sorority and the Glee Club; and she wrote for the Daily Illini. Her family was well-off, so Audrey did not experience financial difficulty in the Depression.
She died in May 2018, just a few days after her 108th birthday, making her the longest-lived interviewee from the Great Depression oral history series. - Subject(s)
