Gutoskie, Andrea
December 9, 1984 – November 29, 2024
It’s with heavy hearts that we share that Andrea Nicole Gutoskie has been called home by our heavenly Father on Friday, November 29th, 2024, surrounded by family.
She fought the bravest fight, but her body could not completely heal. We are heartbroken. To know Andrea, was to know her laughs and mischief. She loved animals and children. In that, she followed her passion to pursue a successful career to help youths and many others in their times of need. Andrea was a program supervisor at Indwell Community Homes.
She leaves to mourn her mother Wendy Mckellar, her father Earl Gutoskie (Cathy); her grandmother Shirley, her brother Brent Gutoskie (Jenn); an aunt and Godmother to Mason and Kendra. Her aunts and uncles Jack (Sheila), Dean (Debby), Terry (Karen), and Byron (Sally).
Predeceased by Grandfather Murray Mckellar and Raymond Gutoskie, aunts Joyce Gutoskie and Carol Audrey Ventry.
