Andi

Andrea Leigh Rex

Littleton, Colorado

 

It is with great sadness and broken hearts that we share the news of the passing of Andrea (Andi) Leigh Rex on May 27, 2023 surrounded by the love of her family. Andi was a cherished daughter and granddaughter, fiercely loyal sister, ridiculously proud aunt, loving girlfriend, devoted bulldog mom and true friend. She filled our lives with love from the moment she came into the world.

Andrea was born on December 17,1986 in Libertyville, Illinois but grew up as a Colorado girl. After her years at Chatfield Senior High, she went on to study at the University of Colorado where her spectrum of knowledge and interests was vast and varied. She graduated with dual Bachelors in Molecular Biology and English which she later combined into a career writing educational science labs and manuals.

The simplest pleasures of life brought great joy to Andi and she found them everywhere; from the mountains of Macedonia, to dancing in the splash pad with her nieces and nephew or a quiet evening at home writing country music songs. She was an accomplished athlete and ran further in her 36 years than most will in a lifetime. She craved adventure and traveled the world from Thailand to Kosovo. With an enormous capacity to love and her sense of wonder, she made friends everywhere she went.

Andrea was generous, adventurous but above all, kind. She held her faith high and believed passionately that she was called to care for others, not just spiritually but also physically. Kindness and caring were call-to-action words to her. She was always the first to offer a helping hand but also worked in the nonprofit sector serving underprivileged children, fed the homeless near her home, had a heart for Veterans and practiced stewardship over all of God’s Creatures and Creation.

As we mourn her tragically early passing, let us honor her memory by loving and laughing generously, and appreciating the beauty and simple joys of life. Her bright smile and infectious laughter echoes in our hearts.

“Always give a little grace Mom, especially to yourself!”

Andrea leaves behind her parents Ron and Patti, her siblings, Betsy, Lindsay, and Michael, and many more family and friends who she loved immensely. We wish to thank all who have supported us over the past few weeks. It has held us up in ways we will never forget.
 
The family will be having a service to celebrate Andi's life on June 30th.
