She often spoke of her very special friends and neighbours from the area. After graduating, Andrea joined the Bank of Commerce, where she also made many life long friends. In 1973, she was introduced to the Weston gang and met and later married the love of her life, David. After leaving the position as Branch Manager with the bank, Andrea joined David in the real estate profession, firstly with the Delbro family and later with Royal LePage. She was considered by all to be a true professional. Andrea had many passions and interests travel, nature, gardening, her flower beds, the birdies and all the little critters in her yard, her many, many pets over the years and having large family gatherings often with a theme. She had a wonderful sense of humour and loved nothing more than a lively exchange of ideas. Andrea was thoughtful, creative and generous never happy with a store bought when a homemade gift, a poem, or one of her unique knitted creations made everyone feel very special. Every gift was always given the creative Andrea gift wrap treatment . Andrea was a person of vision just do it was her approach, and she did it with the grace of a real lady.
