Andrea Sipla Obituary
Andrea Marie Sipla, 60, of Coloma died on Tuesday, July 18, 2023, at Timbers of Cass County.
Andrea was born on April 19, 1963, to Andrew and Donavie Sipla in Watervliet.
She grew up at Siplas Corner surrounded by her brothers, cousins and countless farm animals.

Andrea loved get-togethers with family and friends, live music, NASCAR races, cooking and baking. She loved to laugh and tell stories. Some of her favorite times were spent at the family cabin on Rainbow Lake in Baldwin.

My sympathy to the surviving brothers of Andrea. I used to babysit for the Sipla children shortly after they moved to Sipla's Corner. I lived two doors down from the Sipla residence on North Road, and spent a large part of my childhood in the horse barn, and riding whatever horse Andy allowed. I loved seeing Andy in the Blossom Parade each year on his ENORMOUS Palomino. Donnie was so sweet to the neighborhood kids. In the manner of kids, I would offer to help her with chores my own mother had to threaten me with dire consequences to get me to do, lol. I remember ironing pillowcases - something my mom taught me well. (Back then pillowcases were usually 100% cotton and NEEDED ironing to be soft.)
My family moved away from the old neighborhood when I was 14, and I lost touch with the Sipla family, never seeing the young children grow up. Given their parents, I am certain they grew up to be good citizens and caring family members.
