She is preceded in death by her parents, Nancy and William Putzke. Andrea enjoyed camping, traveling where she and Doug would be sure to find historic and unusual places and fun dining options on each trip. She was a terrific cook finding and sharing recipes on Facebook and let everyone know how they turned out. She loved all of the Cleveland sports teams and cheered them on whenever they were playing. She would be the first one to reach out to help her family and friends if it was to bring something to a party or help them whenever they needed it.
