Andrea Tate Pierce

Andrea Tate Pierce, 22, of Garfield, suddenly went to be with the Lord on Thursday, February 11, 2021, peacefully in her home in Bentonville, AR. She was blessed into this world on August 16th, 1998 by Sean Pierce and Tammy Tate at Saint Mary’s Hospital in Rogers, AR.

Andrea was currently a hostess at the Village Inn in Bentonville and loved all of her co-workers like family. During her childhood, attended Garfield Elementary, Oakdale middle school, and Rogers Heritage High School. She spent most of her childhood happily out in the backwoods of Garfield, AR. She was a free-spirited and vibrant soul who fiercely sought out adventure wherever she could find it. She played clarinet in the marching band, was an avid member of Future Farmers of America, and was also on the high school golf team. She loved music, caring for animals, playing sports, going fishing, and of course, being an all-around country girl. She loved riding out on the dirt roads and getting into mischief and she definitely was a “people-person.” Toward the end of her life, her passion was taking care of her beautiful son and spending time with friends and family anytime she could. She loved to get dolled up and go out for nights on the town with her sister, mother, and girlfriends. She also loved spending time going out to eat at nice restaurants with her father and late grandfather.

In her short life, Andrea learned the importance of family and living life to its fullest. She will be deeply missed by everyone that she touched but never forgotten. God has taken her to Heaven, and we will one day be reunited.

She is survived by her parents, Sean Pierce of Salem, OR and Tammy Tate and Mike Cannady of Washburn, MO; her sister, Adrienne Pierce of OKC, OK; her grandmother, Sheila Palumbo of Springdale, AR; her grandparents, Buddy and Sharon Tate of Seligman, MO; her fiancé Trey Casteel of Rogers; by her son, Winston Ham; and by several aunts, uncles, and cousins. She is preceded in death by her grandmother, Linda Tate; her grandfather, Edward B. Pierce Jr.; and by several great-aunts and uncles. A celebration of life service will be held on Saturday, February 27th, 2021 at 2pm in Rollins Funeral Home Chapel.
