Andrea married the love of her life, Stuart Shew, on February 27, 1990, in Colorado. They shared many adventures traveling across the US and overseas. They lived in Lubbock, TX, Las Vegas, NV, and finally settled in San Angelo, TX to be closer to her family.

Andrea attended Jessie Lee’s Cosmetology School in Lubbock, TX where she attained her hairdresser’s license. In addition to doing hair, she was a receptionist at the YMCA of Lubbock and worked in sales. In her spare time, Andrea enjoyed her time teaching Sunday school and coaching Little Dribblers girls’ basketball. She was a homemaker extraordinaire, using her keen eye for decorating, floral design, landscaping, taxidermy, art, and hosting family gatherings with undeniable style.

Andrea never met a stranger. She was always willing to share her opinions or knowledge on a variety of subjects. Her sharp sense of humor would have you laughing until you cried. She loved deeply and always enjoyed having family around. She will be greatly missed. A celebration of her life has been scheduled for April 11, 2026 in San Angelo, TX.
