She was a provisional substitute teacher and later worked for Head Start where she developed a program called Just for Kids. Andrea was a long time active member of P.E.O. Chapter BL, even residing as President for one term. One of her greatest passions in life was little children; they flocked to her and referred to her as Mrs. Boss.

Connie Huckfeldt of Chadron, NE astoundingly almost matched perfectly, and selflessly donated her kidney to Andrea.
