It’s fitting that yellow was your color: bright, illuminating, and friendly. I’ll always remember your compassionate and engaging spirit - also your fierceness and knack for being a straight shooter. Your laughter balanced just the right amount of snark, wit, sass and class. You loved the 90’s more than the 90’s did. Thanks for shining brightly and for looking out for your friends. We’ll carry you with us and see you again soon.

We love the Bachman family and are heartbroken that family and friends are having to mourn yet another loss. Andrea was very similar to her mom in that she was very easy to love. Our condolences and love to all!

I'm so incredibly sad to hear of this news.
Andrea,
We were all so lucky to have you in our life, even if your time with us was short. I know we hadn't spoken much since college, but when we would see each other on and off throughout the years it was immediately like old times. You had a special gift of being able to brighten anyone's day by just being present. Wherever you are right now, light up the room up and keep making everyone smile. Love you birthday twin. Rest in peace.

I remember Andrea in a thousand memories of middle and high school and as a young adult and in all of them she is smiling, especially when she was in the dance squad at a high school pep rally. Her joy was always infectious and she remains one of the most reliably kind and truly good people I have known. After not seeing her in several years I ran into her dad and her at the Starlight. She popped up out of the booth with a giant smile and warmly hugged me. I am very sorry for your great loss and hope that her lovely memory will be a blessing as you go forward. ??

Karen Bachman and I became friends in the late 1970s when I was teaching at Garfield; she was the quintessential PTA Mom, and we were lucky to be neighbors. In1983, Karen and I arranged a “playdate” for our daughters. They started taking ballet lessons Wednesday mornings at 10:30. Andrea was such a tiny little girl and Molly was about a foot taller; but that mattered little. Decked out all in pink - leotards, tights, tutus and ballet slippers, they danced and laughed and became friends! The seeds had been planted. We watched their friendship take root, sprout, grow and endure though both easy and harsh seasons. We watched as our toddlers went to grade-school; we tended carefully during those awkward teenage years; and we embraced their full bloom as beautiful, adult women. Every Mother should be so blessed that her child finds a friend like Andrea, who was filled with kindness, laughter, and joie de vivre!

Andrea and I both shared a love of reading… just like Karen. I will miss seeing her smile. ??

To the many friends of Dre’s - I am so sorry for your loss. Dre was always so kind and funny back in high school and I know the friendships she shared with you all ran deep. You ladies, other friends and family will be in my prayers. WHS ‘97
