Andrea was employed by Corning.  She was a member of Hartzell Memorial United Methodist Church where she served as a Senior Usher, assisted with youth activities during Vacation Bible School and a Sunday School teacher.  Andrea loved the youth of Hartzell and young people everywhere.  She enjoyed flowers, crocheting, watching football and basketball and was a die-hard Pittsburgh Steeler fan.  Andrea was a graduate of the class of 1982 of Hickory High School.
