Bloomfield, Michigan - Rebecca "Becky" Williamson Andrews (February 18, 1942 – December 18, 2022) born in Wichita, KS and died peacefully at the Emmanuel Community Living House in Orchard Lake, Michigan with her husband by her side. She graduated from Wichita East High school in Wichita, KS, where she was a four-year member of the Purple Aces' Peppy Pilots Pep Club. She attended Kansas University where she graduated with a B.A. degree in Interior Design and became an ardent "Jayhawk" basketball fan.
After working for the Hallmark Corp. in Kansas City and becoming a lifelong member of the American Society of Interior Design (ASID), she moved to Birmingham, Michigan to be the Regional Sales Rep. for Thomasville Furniture. She then joined Gorman's Furniture Company where she met four other interior designers and they formed the "Design Five" design company based at the Michigan Design Center in Troy, Michigan.
She married John "Jack" Andrews in 2005 and they lived on Wing Lake and were members of Oakland Hills C.C. She is survived by her husband, brother Michael Williamson and several cousins, nephews and nieces in Kansas as well as her husband's five children and several grandchildren. She was predeceased by her parents Lloyd Williamson and Angeline (Lungren) Williamson, her sister Patricia Ryan, and several cousins in Kansas and Florida.
Arrangements for her funeral and burial are being handled by A.J. Desmond & Sons, Royal Oak. She was buried Friday, December 23, in the six generation Andrews family plot in Elmwood Cemetery, Detroit, Michigan. A family and friends memorial service is planned for the Elmwood Cemetery Chapel in May.

Becky and I were friends at Sunnyside Elementary School. She was my "tall" friend, I was her "short" friend. Great friendships are precious!

I grew up with Becky and we lived in homes near each other. I did get to see her at an East High school reunion years ago. May her soul and all the souls of the faithfully departed rest in peace.
