Cynthia Kae Andrews

Cynthia Kae Andrews, age 62 of Rockford, Michigan went home to be with her Lord on April 17, 2022. Cindy was born on December 4, 1959 in Grand Rapids to the late Robert & Dorothy (Warn) Anderson. She grew up in Grand Rapids, and went on to earn her Bachelor’s degree from Western Michigan University.

On October 18, 1986, Cindy was united in marriage to the love of her life Michael Andrews. They shared 34 years of marriage before Mike preceded Cindy in death on July 23, 2021.

With a heart to help, Cindy spent her career working at Kettle Lake Elementary assisting kids who needed a little extra support with their education. In retirement, she would take on her most favorite job title, Grandma. She was thrilled with the birth of her granddaughter, Poppy, and the pure joy on their faces when they were together was priceless.

Cindy was very artistic. She had a talent for painting, and enjoyed using watercolors for their soft effects. She also liked the feel of the yarn through her fingers as she crocheted her latest project. She also loved to take family adventures. Some of the family’s favorite memories were made when they traveled annually to cabins nestled in the woods or near a lake for the 4th of July. She also treasured her trip to Europe with her husband.

A gentle woman with a devoted love for her family, Cindy will always be remembered as a dedicated wife, loving mother and doting grandma.

Cindy is survived by her sons: Greg (Kitty) Andrews, Nick Andrews, Zack (April) Andrews; her beloved granddaughter, Poppy; her mother-in-law Mary Jo Andrews; her sister Nancy (Tony) Phifer; and her brothers Mike (Gail) Warn and Gary Warn as well as many other relatives.

A Memorial Gathering will be held on Friday April 22, 2022 from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. at Reyers North Valley Chapel. A private family service will be held. Burial will be at Chapel Hill Memorial Park.
