Andrea Taylor Obituary
Andrea Taylor Dr. Andrea Taylor died of early Alzheimer's disease on Wednesday, September 17, 2014. Born August 20, 1946, and raised in Middle Village, Queens, Andrea (Mestel) graduated from Queens College in 1967 and, after earning perfect 800 scores on her MCAT's, went on to graduate from Albert Einstein College of Medicine, one of two women in her class of 1971. She became an accomplished internist and endocrinologist, practicing in Charlottesville, Virginia, for over 25 years, and then Northern California, before retiring. Andrea was a brilliant physician whose hard work and dedication to her patients, she estimated as many as 2000 at one point, helped pave the way for all women interested in the practice of medicine. Andrea was fortunate to have two sons who survive her, Peter and Matthew, whose love and respect were of great comfort to her in her decline. In addition, she is survived by her twin sister, Karen; sister, Lynn; mother, Shirley; and loving partner, Armando. Memorial services will be in Northern California on Monday, September 29, 2014.

Andrea was a dear friend, neighbor and golf buddy and will be terribly missed. She had a heart of gold and we always looked forward to our special golf days when we would ride in the cart together and I would make up silly songs that would make her laugh. I will truly miss that.
