Roy Andren Obituary
Roy's life was all about family, friendships and his love of travel. Roy was married to his sweetheart, Nancy, for 68 years before she passed away. They shared a wonderful life together, raising 4 children and being very involved grandparents. Roy's love of travel began early in life, visiting many national parks with his great aunts. He and Nancy traveled to over 70 countries and enjoyed the various cultures, landscapes and foods. Roy was a natural athlete and enjoyed basketball, 16" softball, snow skiing and racketball - he would surprise many younger athletes with his abilities. Roy also enjoyed photography and loved taking pictures of people and places in their natural habitats - he had a wonderful eye behind the camera. Roy had a very caring personality and never met a stranger - he would go out of his way to help others and many long term friendships grew from this. Roy will be greatly missed by many family and friends but the family is at peace that he has been reunited with his Nance.
Roy is survived by his ; Children, Richard Andren, Robert Andren, Tracy (John) Corrao, Christopher (Barb) Andren; Seven grandchildren, Eric (Erin) Corrao, Christopher (Nicole) Corrao, Kelli-Ann (Connor) Hempen, Madeline (Drew Schmucker) Corrao, Max Andren, Wil Andren, Jon Andren; Two great-grandchildren, Luca Corrao, Ella Corrao; and a host of other family members and friends.
He was preceded in death by his Parents, E. Adolph and Edith Andren; beloved Wife, Nancy Andren; and Sister, Marjorie Andren.
