Andrea was proud of her accomplishment-all while raising and caring for her family at the same time. She went on to have a fulfilling career as the Public Information Coordinator for Genesee Valley Educational Partnership, retiring in 2011. She enjoyed fishing, boating and spending time with her husband, daughter and son-in-law, and their beloved rescue dog Cooper, as well as friends at their fishing camp on the St. Lawrence River.
