Andy was also a Life Member of the Vietnam Veteran’s Chapter 704 of Auburn, NY where she helped to make poppies for Memorial Day, marched or rode in many parades and attended many functions with her Chapter.

Andy also trained her dog Mav for shows in PA and loved her Nook, who watched over her before she moved to NY in 2009. She loved her cat Simon – they ate doughnuts together at camp. Andy will be missed because she was so “Special” in so many ways.
