Andrea was a member of the East Allegheny Business Association as Treasurer and the Government Body Rep/Liasion for the township for 24 years.  She was also installed in 1986 as the First Woman Commissioner to serve in North Versailles and held the position for two terms.   She was the Mistress of Ceremonies for the US Naval Reserve Center, now the US Marine Corps Reserve Center in North Versailles. For 40 years, Andrea held the Manager and Sale Rep positions for Avon. She also served on the board for Parkview Community Federal Credit Union for many years.  Andrea will be remembered as a mentor and second mother to many.  
Andrea is survived by her children, Beth Ann (Jeffrey) Johnston, Angela (Doug) Graziano-Ireland, and Joseph "Joe" Graziano; daughter-in-law, Jennifer Graziano. She is also survived by step-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.  
In addition to her parents and husband, she was also preceded in death by a son, Lawrence (Larry) Graziano, and brother, Raymond Matty.
