Andrea Tyler Evans’s celebration of life was held on Oct. 1, 2025, with hundreds of family, friends and colleagues in attendance. I loved Andrea so much, and so did the kids, her family, her friends and the entire community. I was so, so lucky to have her. The kids and I will be OK, and we will always have the memories she helped us create and enjoy. I also want people to understand just how passionate she was for this community, and how much she sacrificed to be part of it. There were so many times when she had no business going to an event because of her health, yet she insisted on doing it anyway, so that she could support her beloved Frontdoors and the philanthropic community it served. And finally, as sad as losing her may be, what comforts me is knowing that she was so grateful for this incredible life she built and the legacy she created, which we will all carry forward. She told our family that as we approached her last days. If she could add anything, the words she would be saying, over and over, would almost certainly be “Thank you.” I feel that gratitude as well, for all of the people who were with us on this long, crazy journey. IN MEMORIAM If she could add anything, it would almost certainly be ‘Thank you.’ Andrea’s mother and sisters delivered a moving tribute at her celebration of life. 12 | FRONTDOORS MAGAZINE
