Andrea Lynn Mitchell went to be with the Lord on January 12, 2025, surrounded by her family and friends. She was 42 years old.

Andrea was born May 16, 1982, to Randy and Brenda Mitchell in Excelsior Springs, Missouri. From the time that she was born, she brought joy into the lives of everyone who knew her. Without saying a single word, she brightened whole rooms.

Andrea is preceded in death by her brother, Max Deitrickson; her stepfather, Joe Blodgett; her grandfather, Earl W. Mitchell; her grandmother, Loretta Mae Green; and her grandfather, Ralph Brock.

Surviving her death are her parents, Randy Mitchell (Jody) and Brenda Blodgett; grandmother, Mary Lou Mitchell; sisters, Bethany Taylor, Robyn Tollefson, and Joey Henderson (Brian); brothers, Brock Mitchell (Anna), Zach Deitrickson, and Daniel Blodgett (Tee); nine nieces and nephews; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
