Carla Andrick Obituary
December 7, 1959 - March 5, 2025
Carla Kay Andrick, 65, of Decatur, IL, passed away at 8:02 a.m., on Wednesday (3-5-2025) in Decatur Memorial Hospital.
Carla was born on December 7, 1959, in Decatur, IL, the daughter of Carl Clinton Wilhelm and Virginia Frances (Darnell) Wilhelm. She married Scott Howard Andrick on September 20, 1980. They had been married for almost 45 years.
Carla was a Surgical Tech at Decatur Memorial Hospital for 18 years, retiring in 1997. She was a big Illini Basketball fan, enjoyed knitting, playing the piano and was very athletic in her younger years.
She is survived by her husband: Scott Howard Andrick of Decatur, IL; children: Sara Kay Sutton and husband David of Nashville, TN; and Emily Kay Behnke and husband Solomon of Ashland City, TN; two grandchildren: Carl Sutton and Betty Sutton of Nashville, TN; sisters: Teresa Seggerman of Decatur, IL, and Anita Wilcott of Decatur, IL; brother: David Wilhelm and wife Nancy of Belleville, IL
Carla was preceded in death by her parents and one sister Luana Wilhelm.
A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m., Monday (3-10-2025) at Graceland Fairlawn Funeral Home with visitation one hour before the service time.
In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation to help eradicate this debilitating disease.
Carla was a fighter and had battled MS for close to 40 years of her life. She had the heart of an ox and Multiple Sclerosis dimmed her life light, but it never put that light out even to the very end. She was an extraordinary person, the kind you only meet once in a lifetime, who will be extremely missed by her family and friends.
