She was a loving mother, wife, daughter, sister and friend. She was a faithful servant of the Lord, a compassionate listener and a generous soul. Her strength inspired those around her. Her faith challenged us to believe with her.
She was born in Wichita Falls, Texas on March 29, 1962, and married Col. James Ravella in 1983. Since joining the Air Force in 1986, they have had 11 homes, and Andrea's faith and spirit touched lives everywhere she went.
Andrea was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003. She fought the cancer valiantly, never losing her faith or her courage.
She is survived by her husband and two sons, Nicholas and Anthony; her parents, June Blaylock and Doyle Fuller; and her sister, Angela Davis.
Andrea requested donations in lieu of flowers to support missionary work. Donations can be sent to 100 H Street, Suite 3, Randolph AFB, TX 78150 and will be divided between Words of Hope, for the Bilgen Family in Turkey, and Evangelical Free Church of America for the Cole family in Thailand, and Interserve USA for the DeVries family in Turkey.
