Andrea Hale Siroka

We are sad to announce the passing of Andrea Siroka, who survived passing of spouse Anthony W. Siroka, mother of Anthony B. and Laura C. Morel (nee) Siroka, mother in law to Victor M. Morel, grandmother of Alayna R. and Anthony P. Siroka, sister, aunt, and friend, who departed from this world June 17th, 2023.

Andrea was a long time employee of NYU, she had many interests, she was a lover of reading, baking, cooking, traveling, sewing, knitting, genealogy, scrabble & word games.

As we gather to celebrate Andrea's life and mourn her loss, let us find solace in the memories we shared. May her gentle soul rest in eternal peace, and may her legacy of love, kindness, and compassion continue to inspire us all.

My feelings are expressed in a song by Beth Hart

"Mama this one's for you"

For all the things I never said,I'm sorry that I never did.

I thank you for your precious time,

For teaching me how to climb.

… I love you more than summertime

You've been such a good friend of mine

And every sacred word is true

I learned to love because of you and

… Oh mama I saw the world

And it was good

And full of kindness

Every step I took you held my hand

And watched me grow

You'll never know

How much I love you

And I am not afraid, I'm not afraid

I finally grew

Mama this one's for you

… You always look beyond the dark

You told me joy lives in the heart

And life is what you make of it

Make sure to cherish every bit and

… Oh mama I saw the world

And it was good

And full if kindness

Every step I took you held my hand

And watched me grow

You'll never know

How much I love you

And I am not afraid, I'm not afraid

I finally grew

Mama this one's for you
