Leonora "Lennie" Andrews

Leonora Andrews passed away on November 2, 2022.  Her last days were spent peacefully with family by her side.  To family and friends she was known as “Lennie”

Lennie was born in the city of Pasay, Philippines.  She was a WWII bride, marrying US sailor, George Andrews in 1946.  In 1948 with a one year old daughter, she joined her husband in the US where Sandpoint, Idaho became their home for over 70 years.

Lennie and George’s family grew to include two sons.  As a determined young mother, she pursued her dream of becoming a cosmetologist.  She worked at the downtown Sandpoint Beauty School and later from her home in a small salon.

Lennie loved traveling to Hawaii, going to the movies, dressing up and shopping.  She also enjoyed arts and crafts, creating many beautiful floral arrangements which she delighted in sharing with others.

She’ll be remembered by her family for her enduring strength and her will to overcome any obstacles that came her way.

Lennie is survived by three children: Joan (Bob), John (Vicki) and George (Nancy).  Lennie was also blessed with nine grandsons and six great grandchildren.  She was predeceased by her husband George,  two sisters and her parents.

The family will gather to celebrate the lives of both Lennie and George.
