After her last child graduated, Andrea continued to spread her love to 13 foster children. Then GOD blessed her with 3 beautiful granddaughters, Brooklyn Paige, Joshlyn Johnni, and Cheyenne Marissa. These 3 little girls became her new breath of life and all she LOVED was being, "Nanna". Plus, she liked the occasional casino trips.
