Drea, as her friends and family knew her, was a kind, genuine and caring person who was loved by many, but no one more than her true love and soul mate in life her husband Kyle. Of all their accomplishments together, Drea was most proud of her daughters, Ella, who attends Purdue University (her alma mater) currently in the Nursing program and is deeply involved with her Sorority Delta Gamma. Sydney, who is an Illinois All-State track hurdler and member of the Lockport High School competitive dance team.

Professionally, Drea followed in the footsteps of her beloved mother, who was her role model in the business world. Drea was destined to become an executive in the procurement field and rose through the ranks of three Fortune 500 companies, traveling the globe sourcing ingredients for her employers. Since 2017 she lent her talents to Mars Inc., where she was a Global Director of Strategic Sourcing for Sweeteners and Gum Base Ingredients. Prior to that she led high-performance teams at Wrigley and Pepsico. Earlier in her career she held procurement positions at Kraft, Canadian National Railway Co. and Metra. Andrea was always on the go, never wasting a minute of the day without making that quick stop on the way to an appointment or stopping by to say hello or to do something special for someone. She loved animals, reading, vacationing with her family but most of all selflessly taking care of others.
