Marjorie Ellen "Marge" Andrews was born in Savageton, Wyo., on Feb. 27, 1929, and passed away in Hood River, Ore., on May 31, 2024, at 95 years old.
Marge was raised on a large family ranch outside Gillette, Wyo., in the 1930s. After her mother passed away when Marge was 7, her father, Leo Sharkey, remarried Juanita Kerr. With Leo's three children and Juanita's three children, and having one more child between them, the entire family moved from Wyoming to the upper Hood River Valley in the early 1940s.
Marge married her high school sweetheart from Parkdale High School, Billy Oliver "Bill" Andrews, on Aug. 27, 1949, and they were married for 45 years when he passed away on May 25, 1995. They raised five children and lived their entire adult lives in the Hood River Valley.
Marge was preceded in death by her parents, three sisters and one brother, husband Bill and son Arthur. Marge is survived by two brothers, Allan Sharkey and John Sharkey; four children, Sue Corrado (John), Gordon Andrews (Marianne), Ken Andrews and Lisa Johnson (Ben); three grandchildren, Katie Meinzinger (Stephen), Jordyn Johnson and Blake Johnson; and two great-grandchildren, Benny Meinzinger and Abby Meinzinger.
Marge was an active member of the Hood River Alliance Church for 51 years. The defining character of Marge's life was her love and devotion to Jesus Christ her Lord.
