Lou was born May 31, 1923 in New York City. While helping with the war effort during World War II, she met and married Lt. Richard (Andy) Andrew. They shared a joyful sixty one years together.

Her lifelong career as devoted wife and mother began as she and Andy bore three children, Carol, Sue and Rick. Lou gave herself totally to the care of her family. From scout leader, Sunday school teacher, piano lessons, PTA, playing baseball in the backyeard, Lou was always there, along with Andy, giving her children a rich, wonderful childhood.

Lou also nurtured a long, loving marriage with Andy. They celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with the family at a cabin in the north in 1996. They were each others best friend, loving and enjoying their time together. The great love they shared spilled over to those in their presence, making it so enjoyable to be with them. Their relationship was one to be admired.

Lou’s greatest joy was to be surrounded by her friends and family. She loved a party. She loved to laugh and to entertain.

Lou is survived by her husband, Andy Andrew, three children, Carol Johnson, Benton Harbor, Michigan, Susan Mosher, Montgomery, Texas, Rick Andrew, Valdosta, GA, three grandchildren, Dustin Johnson, Michael Hill and Katie Andrew.
