Andrea's obituary
Andrea Estrella
March 15, 1950 – August 22, 2025
Andrea Estrella, a beacon of love, compassion, and wisdom, passed away on August 22, 2025. Born on March 15, 1950, Andrea lived a life full of passion, humor, and unwavering devotion to her family, friends, and the world around her.
She is survived by her loving husband, Edward Estrella, and her two cherished daughters, Marlena and Renee Estrella. Together, they shared a deep, unbreakable bond filled with laughter, love, and strength.
Andrea would do anything for her family and the ones she loved. She often put herself on the back burner to care for others—her heart was truly bigger than the universe. She carried more than anyone knew, protecting her family with quiet courage and endless love. She held everyone together like the strongest glue in the world.
A true animal lover, Andrea adored her own fur babies and grand-puppies, treating them as little angels on earth. She was thoughtful, kind, caring, compassionate, and full of love. She loved to laugh, to take spontaneous day trips and road trips, and dreamed of one day living in beautiful Portugal.
An incredible cook, she delighted in trying new recipes and always made sure her family was fed with love, care and joy. Her strength, intuition, and wisdom were beyond measure—she had a rare gift for sensing truth and understanding people’s hearts.
Andrea faced life’s challenges with unmatched courage, surviving cancer, heart issues, and multiple car accidents that were not her fault. Through it all, she remained a warrior and a champion of love, grace, and resilience.
Through her life she would say being a mom and a wife were her most important jobs; however, she was also a successful real estate agent, then real estate broker, owning her own agency with a friend of hers. She also worked in chiropractic care in an office. She owned, managed and worked on multiple rental properties together with her husband, Edward. She found joy in taking something old and making it new and nice again in the renovations. She took great pride in that process. She also cared for their multiple tenants with a big warm loving soul.
She found great joy in exploring the world’s beauty—from the beaches of Jamaica, to the lush landscapes of Hawaii, to the cliffs of Ireland. Her adventurous spirit and zest for life were contagious. She wanted to live out the rest of her life in Portugal, but unfortunately, she never made it there.
Known for her compassion and protective heart, Andrea was deeply devoted to people, animals, nature, and truth. Her legacy of love and integrity continues to inspire all who knew her.
Andrea had a fondness for the color purple, a reflection of her vibrant and majestic soul. She loved her wine and the laughter shared with loved ones—symbols of life’s sweetest moments.
Andrea Estrella, a loving wife, mother, and radiant soul, will be deeply missed. Her memory will forever live in the hearts of those who love her, a timeless reminder of the power of love, kindness, and courage. The world lost a beautiful woman, a deeply loving soul, a precious kind, and compassionate heart, and the world's best and most devoted mother and wife. There are no words to describe her absence. We miss her with all of our beings.
