Virginia Georgette D’Andrea (nee Mellow) Fortified with the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church, Monday, July 28, 2025.
A retired MO state patrol driver driving examinator supervisor of over 20 years. A wonderful loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, friend and defender of animals was taken home by our lord God.
Virginia was preceded by her parents, 3 brothers and 4 sisters who await her in heaven. Virginia is survived by her devoted husband of 54 years Joseph Michael D’Andrea Jr. Her son Joseph Michael D’Andrea III and wife Cheri, her daughter Julie Elizabeth Nesselhauf and husband Joseph. She was known as Gigi to her grandchildren, Ciarra, Alex, Kortni, Joe Jr, Will, Samantha and Mikey as well as to her great-grandchildren, Clayton, Teagan, Spencer, Mattis and Emma. Virginia was known to so many extended family and friends as a joyful soul.
As we grieve our loss of this very abundant example of love, devotion, charity, and Catholic family values, we are blessed to know she will continue to watch over us every day as we carry her in our hearts.
May perpetual light shine upon her and may her soul rest in peace.
