Andrea Lynn Ryan

She was born in Lansing, MI on November 5th, 1982 to Richard and Patricia (Schmid) Ryan. She attended DeWitt High School and graduated in 2000. Later, Andrea decided to pursue a career as a hairstylist. She attended Excel Academy of Cosmetology, where she was able to graduate and ultimately receive her license. In 2018, Andrea started working for NTB Trucking as a dispatcher which ended up being the perfect position for her since she was incredible with providing directions.

She was an incredibly outgoing person, always making friends with people wherever she went. Andrea loved crafting in her free time. Her favorite part was always buying the supplies and planning what her next creation would be. She recently started creating hand-crafted personal signs for friends and family.

Predeceased are grandfather James Ryan Sr., grandfather Henry Schmid Jr., and fiance' George Frazeur III.

She is survived by son Gage Ryan, parents Richard and Patricia Ryan of Houghton Lake, MI, sister Chanda (Mark) Dunn, niece Madison Dunn and nephew Jacob Dunn of Norton Shores, MI, grandmother Donna Ryan of Marion MI, grandmother Dorothy Schmid of Perrinton MI, several aunts and uncles, and cousins, and best friend Thommie Bengel.

Andrea was truly a light to anyone who had the gift of knowing her. She will forever be cherished in the crafts that she made and the memories she shared with those who loved her.

A memorial service will be held in the future.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made to gofundme.com/f/in-memory-of-andrea-ryan which will be used as a college fund for Gage.
