Melleny A. Andrews, (54) passed away October 11, 2022. She was born in Tomahawk, Wisconsin on February 23, 1968.

Melleny, besides having her PhD, writing a book for women entrepreneurs, being a successful business woman and volunteering to help dogs in a kill shelter find a new home, she had a most giving and compassionate heart. As a child she once saw a homeless person and asked if we could take him home. She was always giving whenever she saw a need. She recently told me she prays three times a day and knows God loves her.  There is an emptiness without her, and we miss her dearly. I do know we will hug each other again when Christ comes again and restores His kingdom.

Melleny is survived by her son, Brandon Lee Andrews, mother, Linda Peoples (Tony), brother, Glen Cannon, grandchild, Thatcher Smith, one niece and nephew, significant other, Timothy J. Crawford and many lifelong friends.

Private Family services will be held at a later date.
