Andrea was a wonderful spirit to have lived, if you encountered Andrea, she sure would have made you laugh with her quick wits and her hilarious jokes. No one knew Andrea to be in a bad mood or angry with anyone. Andrea was the beauty and the laughter that always brightened any room up.

Where she continued in the medical field as a Health Analyst. Living in Utah, Andrea enjoyed hiking and scenic walks. One of Andreas's many endeavors was moving to New York, she lived in Middletown and braved the coldest of winters where she continued to work.

Andrea worked remotely in their beach house, at Actalent Scientific for Montefiore Medical Center in Bronx, NY. Andrea was a frequent attendee at the couple’s parish, Santa Maria del Mar. Andrea frequently visited New Mexico to visit her family and spend time with her favorite little people, her nephews. Among their adventures together were rock climbing and hiking the Tome hill.
