Mary W. Andrews, 92, of Bloomington, died peacefully on Tuesday afternoon at Bell Trace Senior Living Center. Born Feb. 1, 1920, in Leominster, Massachusetts, she was the daughter of Elizabeth (Bradley) Upham and step daughter of Rankin Hart Upham. She served in the U.S. Coast Guard during World War 2, stationed in Brooklyn, New York. She went on to graduate from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York with a degree in costume design. In June 1956 she married Norman B. Andrews, who preceded her in death. Together, they lived in 10 states from coast to coast. Mary's wonderful wit, creative problem-solving ability and patience carried her through each new experience. She is survived by one daughter, Jonlee Andrews and her husband, Dan Smith, of Bloomington; one son, Peter Andrews and his wife Yun Ying Li, of Boulder, Co.; sister-in-law Frances Bernstein of Burlington, NC; brother-in-law David Andrews of Union City, GA; one granddaughter, Elizabeth Devlin Fischenich and her husband, Zachary Fischenich, of Phoenix, AZ; and many nieces and nephews. Memorial services will be conducted in Auburn Maine in May. Burial will be at Mount Auburn Cemetery in Auburn Maine. There will be no visitation. Mary and her family are grateful to the caregivers of Home Instead Senior Care, Bell Trace Senior Living, and Hospice of Bloomington Hospital.
