Mary Elizabeth "Lizz" (Kuhn) Andrews

Mary Elizabeth “Lizz” Andrews, 73, of South Londonderry Township, Lebanon County passed away Monday, September 9, 2024. Born June 2, 1951, at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida, she was the first of five children born to Paul and Mary Ann (Hershey) Kuhn.
 

Lizz was an artist, nature lover, and collector of the uniquely ordinary and exquisitely grotesque. She could be called upon for a cup of sugar or an alligator skull, a cornbread recipe, or a petrified cat. She had a confident and carefree nature, always complimenting those around her; and unconditionally accepting of everyone. She was a free spirit and totally weird, who always encouraged others to be weird too, since “weirdos make the world more interesting.” Her only fears in life were being a bother to someone else, or getting “trapped in her own clothes.” She had a gift for turning her hobbies into entrepreneurial opportunities. She was an amazing cook; who preferred to measure from the heart instead of a recipe. She hosted Mexican fiesta nights on a whim, always making too much food so anybody who showed up would be fed.
 

As a special education teacher, she became an advocate for her students; relentlessly pursuing their continual development and enrichment, as well as her own. Eventually joining the People-to-People Student Ambassador Program as a chaperon, Lizz traveled to Europe, Asia, and Australia with her beloved students. She also loved Jesus, spending years as a youth group leader and becoming an active member of her church. She wrote a book about faith and prayer and lived true to every word she wrote.
 

Our Lizz was a caring wife and devoted mother, immensely loved by her husband, her four sons, and her four “daughters-in-love.” She was “Meme” to fourteen grand-kids who adored her quirky nature and the peppermints she so freely doled out. She was the cool and confident “Libby” to her younger siblings, nieces, and nephews. Her favorite place in life was being surrounded by her abundant family, always ready to share laughs and adventures.
 

She is survived by her husband of 51 years, Bruce Andrews, her four sons (each her favorite), and their wives: Brandon and Jennifer Andrews, Bruno and Amanda Andrews, Benjamin and Tara Andrews, and Blake and Kimberly Andrews. Her siblings: Paula and Daniel Moditch, Dwight and Phyllis Kuhn, Julie and Michael Avant, Verna Kuhn, and Juliann Kuhn, and fourteen grandchildren.

A celebration of her life will be held at GracePoint Church at 740 Leon Avenue, Palmyra at 11:00 AM on Saturday, October 12, 2024.
