Andrea was the second child , the baby of the family. Her sister was almost six years old when she was born. A precious happy baby that grew into the same happy content and very easy to raise child. Shy but very clever and studious in all her school work. Was a avid reader and  during her later elementary school years she helped out in the library because it was a happy place for her. She grew up in Whitby, Ontario and was involved with a Baton club, Weekly practices and Santa Claus parades with marching were a highlight. The Baton club participated in Canadian competition with dance routines. This, she enjoyed and as mother and daughter we flew to another province of Winnipeg for a week. We spent hours of fun together with her friends and other mothers and came home with a couple of silver ribbons. Andrea had an obsession and love for horses. She started horse-back riding at age 7  and continued all through her growing years into adulthood. She owned her own horse for awhile. She had wanted to become a vet and as time passed on like many other children her goals changed many times. Her love for all animals remained. She owned a couple of cats and two dogs Simon and golden lab and Oscar a Great  Dane. She went to college and graduated as a Social Service worker with a BAA in Human Services Management..
