Andrea was born on September 26th, 1961 in Knoxville, Tennessee. From a young age, she displayed a vibrant spirit, a kind heart, and a natural ability to bring joy to those around her.

Whether it was her caring nature, or her ability to turn any moment into a cherished memory, she was a gift to all who had the privilege of knowing her. She attended Austin East High School, where she built lifelong friendships. Andrea was a hardworking and ambitious individual, she pursued a career in Patient Care Services, where her dedication and passion left a lasting impact on colleagues and clients alike. She was deeply committed to her work, always striving to make a difference and leave a positive mark on the world.

Andrea was a woman of many passions. She found joy in her friends and especially her family. Whether she was cooking for family gatherings or spending time with her grandchildren she embraced every experience with enthusiasm and love.

More than anything, Andrea was devoted to her family and friends. She cherished her relationships and was a source of strength, laughter, and unwavering support to those who needed her. Andrea took great pride in being a loyal daughter, sister, partner, and friend. She is survived by her mother Amanda Winton.
