Andrea, born in 1953 with cystic fibrosis, defied expectations, becoming one of the disease's oldest survivors at the time before passing away at the age of 47 in 2001. Her advocacy for her health and strong will inspired those around her. Despite medical advice, she welcomed a preterm but healthy child, again defying expectations. Andrea's captivating sense of humor lit up the room, bringing laughter and joy. She was a creative interior designer and talented pastel watercolor artist, a dedicated wife to Jim, who stood by her side through every triumph and challenge, and a loving mother whose legacy of love and fierce determination lives on.
