Andrea's obituary
Andrea Gail Drew Smith
Age 32 | Beloved Mother, Daughter, Sister, and Friend
It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Andrea Gail Drew Smith, who left us unexpectedly at the age of 32 on December 25th, 2024. Though her time with us was far too short, our Andrea Gail's love, kindness, and laughter will live on forever in the hearts of those who knew her.
As the youngest of six siblings, Andrea Gail was the baby of the family—cherished, adored, and endlessly loved. Her siblings shared a unique bond, one filled with deep connection, inside jokes, and laughter, but also worries and tears. At the end of the day, though, their bond was built on a love that stretched over mountains, across deserts, and to the end of time.
Andrea Gail's father, who adored her beyond words, will carry her memory in his heart forever. The loss of her mother just a few months prior made Andrea Gail's passing even more heartbreaking , but there is comfort in knowing that they are now reunited, watching over their family together.
Andrea Gail's spirit was bright, her laughter contagious, and her love immeasurable. She was the kind of person who could make anyone feel special, and her kindness knew no bounds. Her absence leaves a void that can never be filled, but her love and memory will continue to shine in the lives of those she touched.
Andrea is survived by her children; her father, James; grandmother Elaine, her five loving siblings, Chelley, Faythe, Brooke, Kory, and Dianna. She also leaves behind cherished nieces and nephews, as well as extended family and countless friends who were lucky to know her.
Andrea Gail is preceeded in death by her mother Dana, Uncle Trey, grandmother Sharon, grandfather Tommy and brother in law Dale.
A celebration of Andrea’s life will be held, Saturday March 22, 2025. Lake Ridgelea Park Byram, Ms at 2 p.m. where family and friends will gather to honor the incredible woman she was.
Though she is no longer with us, Andrea’s love and legacy will endure—forever woven into the lives of those she cherished
