Annie Lee Andrews

Annie Lee Andrews, age 87, of Asheboro, NC, passed away peacefully on March 27, 2026, surrounded by her loving family.

Born on June 30, 1938, in Silk Hope, NC, Annie was the daughter of Everett and Cladie Perry. From the start, she was a strong and determined young lady. This spirit would carry on into adulthood and help her overcome many challenges in her life. In her earlier years, she was a successful saleswoman who won many awards. When she wasn’t working, she enjoyed taking trips, and you would often find her in Cherokee, playing the slots. She also played the piano in church and cross-stitched blankets for all the newborn babies, which both brought her great joy. She never missed a Carolina basketball game and was a loyal Tar Heel fan. She loved working puzzles and watching her soap operas, or as she called them, her “stories.” She will be remembered for her strength, her stubborn spirit, and the love she had for her family.

Annie, also lovingly known as “Nannie,” is survived by her daughters, Cindi Rich (Rodney), Terrie Bryant, and Myra Flinchum (Dean). She is also survived by her grandchildren, Leah Giovinazzo (Patrick), Kristen Rich (Brian Sharpe), Brittiany Byrd (Jared), Adam Bryant (Christina), Clay Flinchum, Cade Flinchum, and Logan Bryant. She has 6 great-grandchildren, Augustus Giovinazzo, Julian Giovinazzo, Athen Giovinazzo, Avery Byrd, Harper Byrd, and Deacon Sharpe. She was preceded in death by her son, Tal Andrews; grandson, Alexander Bryant; sister, Mildred Honeycutt; and parents, Everett and Cladie Perry.

Funeral arrangements are incomplete at this time.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Randolph Hospice House or the American Cancer Society, in memory of Annie.

The family would like to thank all the caregivers, most notably Jane Pressley, who lovingly cared for her during her final years.

She was the heart of our family and will be deeply missed.

Pugh Funeral Home has the honor of serving the Andrews family
