Andrea D. Krist

To Andrea's Family -
I was shocked to hear about Andrea's passing today. I never actually met her in person but worked with her remotely from NPR. She had such a vivacious spirit and seemed to make everyone feel welcome and loved. She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

With deepest sympathy

John and family,
Jeanne and I remember Andrea with great fondness. She was an absolute delight as a Spanish teacher at Lakewood High. She brought much laughter and joy to classes and fellow teachers every day. We weren't able to keep in touch over the years, but we especially remember the delightful brunch we spent with you and Andrea in your home. Our thoughts are with you. Jeanne and Gene

I will remember for what she leaves behind in her lovely daughter who I know best - a lively and positive spirit, love of life and people, an appreciation for the things in life that bring us joy and peace; flowers, art, creativity, laughter! I will think of her whenever I see pink! I will think of her whenever I encounter someone who refuses to give in or give up. Her memory will live on in many, many people and places that she cared about and for.

Look at the sun, close your eyes and look away and there is an afterglow. If you were lucky enough to look at this beautiful, bright person, you can close your eyes and her afterimage is there....that's how special she was....the central "star" in every area of her life.

My sympathies to her family. All of us were so fortunate to have her in our lives. She did everything with dedication, humor, and love, and oh, yes, such style!

Andrea was one of the first people I met when interviewing for a job at the Cleveland Museum of Art back in 2002. Like many others have shared, I have fond memories of her pink office, the toys, her love of shoes, and, most vividly, the peeps she always seemed to have a supply of, no matter what the holiday! Most importantly, she was a joy to be around, and lit up the museum daily with her humor and contagious smile. I was saddened when she decided to leave the museum for ideastream, and...

To the family and friends of Andrea. So sorry to hear about Andrea. There are so many memories from Fairview High School. What a wonderful and fun loving person she was. It was a pleasure knowing her.

To the Family of Andrea Krist:
My deepest condolences to the
family surviving vivacious Andrea.
We lived a street apart in Fairview
Pk. graduated from FHS, and shared
many lunches downtown after 40th
reunion, sharing our love of theatre,
reliving high school memories, and life in general. Although we lost
touch for several years, I always re-
membered Andrea's zest for life,
family, and acquaintences. My
thoughts are with you.

I was so sorry to hear about Andrea. We worked together at CMA and this past week-end I thought of her quite a lot. She was the queen of peeps, and of course Easter is the time of peeps. Every where I went there were peeps, and my first thought was about the website for peeps that I showed to Andrea, (that she already knew about) and then I remembered that she was gone. I even saw dark pink peeps this year -- my first ever. She is sorely missed.
