Andrea Lynn Kushner of Manhattan Beach passed away on Tuesday, October 18, 2022. Andrea was born in 1971 to Sheldon and Carolyn Kushner in Cincinnati, Ohio. As the child of a military doctor, she grew up all over the Southeastern United States.
An academic at heart, Andi attended Phillips Academy at Andover and then headed west to continue her education. She earned a BA (cum laude) from UCLA, where she was a member of Kappa Delta Sorority. She then obtained a JD from the USC Gould School of Law, and finally, an LLM in taxation from Loyola Marymount Law School.
She practiced law in with several of Los Angeles' most prestigious law firms. In 2015, Andi joined Bernstein Private Wealth Management as a Director and Senior Vice President. Her passion for knowledge and the practice of law were only outshined by her brilliant personality and ability to connect with clients. Andi was a much sought-after speaker at Estate and Tax Planning Conferences all over the country and was an integral member of the California estate planning community. Andrea will posthumously receive a Lifetime Achievement Award from the California Lawyers Association in November.
Outside of her professional life, Andi had a relationship with her children that any parent would admire - they were family first and the best of friends. They loved to travel as a family especially to Hawaii, their favorite destination. Her spirit lives on in these two bright young adults who are destined for greatness just like their mother. Andi touched the lives of many, and she will be missed profoundly.
Andrea is survived by her two children, Benjamin and Carrie, and her father Sheldon and brother Allen. She is predeceased by her mother Carolyn and stepmother Lynn.
