NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Anne Leslie Andrew, age 66, of North Adams, MA passed away peacefully Wednesday October 2, 2024, at Berkshire Medical Center, surrounded by her loved ones after a long battle with cancer complications.
Anne was born in North Adams, MA on September 2, 1958, daughter of the late John Frederick Millis and Ruth Eleanor (Scott) Millis. She graduated from Drury High School with the class of 1977, eventually meeting her caring and devoted husband, Ronald, in the summer of 1992.

For 30 years, she nurtured and influenced countless young lives, helping them grow into cherished individuals.

Throughout her life, Anne was devoted to caring for others and consistently sought to bring joy to those around her.
She is survived by her husband, Ronald Paul Andrew, whom she married on June 4, 1994, and their daughter, Elizabeth Ashley (Alexander) Cook of Pittsfield, MA, and son, Nicholas Robert (Jocelyn) Lentine of Pownal, VT. She also leaves behind four grandchildren: Ryleigh Lentine, Austin Lentine, Myles Cook, and Maisey Cook.

Anne was an amazing woman, from being a mom, grandmother, and caregiver to so many children. She was literally like a second Mom to my daughter, Lindsey. She had a heart of gold and her kindness was like no other. I am, and will always be, grateful to have known her. I am sad for the suffering she endured over last years of her life. Her suffering is now over, but she will be missed by so many in her life. My prayers go out to her entire family, this is a huge loss for so many. May she rest in peace. | from: Lori and Patrick Keating | on: 10-04-2024 |
