Jerry Philip Andes Sr.

December 12, 1934 – January 3, 2023 Jerry Philip Andes, M.D. was a dearly beloved husband of sixty-five years, father to four children, grandfather to ten grandchildren, and great-grandfather to seven with two more on the way. He graduated as valedictorian from Montebello High School, earned his Bachelor’s degree in Zoology as well his Doctor of Medicine from the University of Southern California, and completed his internship and residency at Los Angeles County USC Medical Center. During his forty-year career at St. Jude Medical Center in Fullerton as an Obstetrician/Gynecologist, he delivered over 10,000 babies and was passionately committed to women’s health. His patients loved him very much. As a natural educator, he started the Special Problems Medical OB Clinic at LAC/USC for complicated pregnancies and taught as a Clinical Professor and was honored as Emeritus Professor at USC’s Keck School of Medicine. In every way he lived without fear. Curiosity drove him. He was incredibly well read with an extensive library, attended continuing education courses in both general and medical subjects, and traveled to all fifty states and all seven continents. He was a devoted USC alumnus who supported the university for over seventy years. Above all, he was a dedicated family man, with a generous heart, a passion for USC football, reading, golf, travel, and gardening. He loved life and he was dearly loved by all who knew him. He is survived by his wife, Barbara, and his children and their spouses Susan Kinzinger (Kevin), Jerry Andes (Pam), Karen Westland (Grant) and Nancy Towbin (David).
