A school teacher in the Wayland district for 30 years, Andi approached all endeavors with gentleness and patience. Her family and friends know her as the epitome of a lady, a mirror image of her own mother. The peacefulness of her soul matched her love of nature. For decades, she traveled frequently to the Canadian wilderness. She escaped brutal Michigan winters for Florida sunshine in recent years.
Andi’s talents were limitless. Her competitiveness in recreational sports prevailed, and she blanketed all in warmth with her hand-made and knitted “gifts” of love. Her painted nails were the source of countless back tickles through generations. Most of all, Andi loved her friends and family. Although she left us way too soon, her loved ones will forever cherish the memories they made with her.
