She was born in Lewiston and graduated from Lewiston High School. She was a daughter of Walter and Gladys Foss Ivers, both of England.

She married Erland W. Andrews on May 9, 1948. They traveled the country and the world while he made a career in the U.S. Air Force.

In 1970, they settled in Orlando after living in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Texas, North Dakota, South Carolina and California. They purchased one of the first season passes at the newly built Walt Disney World and enjoyed frequent visits.

She enjoyed many activities at the Orlando Lutheran Towers and loved attending the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra, where she had season tickets for many years. She enjoyed reminiscing with others about her travels and was always pleased to have visits from her family. Her life was very full and rewarding, and her family loved her dearly.
