Andrea met her late husband Martin and got married in June 1972. Andrea enjoyed spending time sailing and cruising on the boat with Martin and friends and family. Andrea also loved reading and working on crafts of all kinds. She loved starting a new project and stretching herself to learn new and different skills. Toward the end of her life, she developed a love for puzzles and was seldom without one in process. Andrea had a great love of people and never met a stranger. She always had a ready smile and a warm hug for everyone she met.
