Andrea Marie Wildeman (Woods), 82 passed away on April 29, 2025 at Sheridan County Long Term care in Hoxie, KS.
She was born March 21, 1943 in Gypsum, KS. Andrea was an only child of Andrew and Charlotte (Flessa) Woods. Andrea attended and graduated from Gypsum high school in 1961. Andrea received a Bachelor in Education with an emphasis in English from Kansas Wesleyan University in 1965 and her master's in library science from Emporia University in 1978. Andrea also returned to school later in life and received a Master's in Counseling from Fort Hays State University. She taught and was the school Librarian in Norton, KS for several years before marrying Leroy and moving to Hoxie. After obtaining her counseling degree she worked for the Hoxie School system as both a High School and Grade School Counselor.
Andrea married Leroy Wildeman on June 1, 1985. She joined Leroy and his two children, Paula and Galen and formed a family. Andrea had a heart for Jesus.

Andrea is survived by her children Paula Marchbanks and her husband, Charles, Galen Wildeman and his wife, Sondra, granddaughter Lindsey Marchbanks, grandsons Nick, Logan and Carter Yates and numerous nieces and nephews.
