Andrea Horton Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 10, 2014.
Our Beloved Andrea went home to be with the Lord on April 3, 2014. Her sister, Donna Gjertsen, brother, Jim Horton, nephews, Gregory, Kevin and Darrick Gjertsen, whom they affectionately nicknamed her "Tant" survives Andrea. Andrea also had 3 grandnieces, Caitlin, Taylor and Gianna and one grandnephew, Nathan whom she loved to pieces. She was recently excited to see them and had her trunk filled with gifts she had planned to give them. Andrea had many close cousins that loved her and will miss her dearly. Carol, Ken and Ronnie shared a lifetime of love, fun, and had an array of memories to cherish. Valerie and Andrea shared a special bond.
After having an exciting career with Delta Airlines she retired and later worked with the Broward County School Board for a brief time.
Andrea loved to travel with her friends to interesting places and go on ski trips when she was working for the airlines. She later took on hobbies such as decorating, collecting different types of picture frames and taking pictures of her cats.
Andrea loved her family and enjoyed it when everyone was together for a barbeque, birthday, holiday or up at the "lake" house enjoying boating and the relaxing lifestyle.
Andrea also enjoyed her neighbors company, especially Billy and Abdul where they would often cook and share dinners with one another.
Andrea will be surely missed by all who loved her.

I was Andrea's neighbor across the street. Her cat Joey visited me regularly. Andrea rescued our cat Tiger who loved the visits from Andrea and Joey. I was so sad to hear that we have lost Andrea. Andrea was so kind and friendly. She loved working in her yard and sharing her mangos.

I just was informed of the loss of an angel. Andrea and I were very close when she lived in Marblehead Massachusetts and we flew many a trip together as flight attendants. She had a beautiful smile and we were always making each other laugh. She and I took a once in a lifetime trip to Italy and I remember if vividly. From the Italian men that swarmed over her to our wine and bread and cheese lunches to Andrea calling the reception desk asking for more toilet paper. The guy had to come up to our room to figure out what she was asking for. She showed him a roll, I took a picture(I still have all of our photos) and we just laughed and laughed. I am so saddened to hear she is no longer here.
It's funny because I am selling a condo in a building she once owned a condo too and she was treasurer and she kept meticulous books. (You can really tell when I took over). It was in my plan to call her and then I got the call that I will not get that chance. Miss you Andrea and Love you. Mary Lou

I feel so lucky to have had Andrea in my life. She was a wonderful cousin and friend. We started talking regularly after my Grandma passed away. It was a comfort to speak often with a family member who had similar memories. Since we moved to Maryland when I was little, Andrea was sort of my link to the family in Florida. I always enjoyed hearing how my relatives were doing. It was really amazing how much we had in common. It was always nice to have someone to talk to about good and bad times. I tried to give her someone that she could feel comfortable turning to when she was down or having trouble.

Andrea loved hearing about my two children. I know how much she treasured time with her nephews and their beautiful children. You can see in the photographs how her face just lit up when she was around them.

I really feel the loss of my beloved cousin. I will always be grateful that God put her in my life.

So sorry for your loss of Andrea. Although I don't know her personally I feel I know her. My husband Jim knew her growing up. May she rest in peace now. She is an Angel now.

My thoughts and prayers go out to her family. She was a great girl.

I will always remember the yearbook pic of her with her hair on top of her head rolled in a can (we did in the 70's to straighten our hair) .

Although it has been so many years since I have seen Andrea, I had tried contacting her through Facebook several months ago and invited her to our 40th year HS reunion. She was beautiful all these years as evidenced in these photos and I am so saddened to know she passed away so young. My condolences to the her family.

Andrea, I will always remember our high school antics and all the laughs we shared. I know it was no coincidence that God reunited us at Calvary and am so thankful we got to grow in the Lord together for a season. I am holding onto every good memory of our friendship, knowing you are at peace and smiling with Him. Love you, Angel (Diaz) Denker
