Andrea L. Piotter

January 8, 1963 - May 11, 2018

Andrea Lou (Schave) Piotter, 55, returned to her Heavenly Home on May 11, 2018, following a brave battle with thyroid cancer. Andrea was born to the late Alfred and Betty (Van Dam) Schave in Harbor Beach, MI on January 8, 1963. Andrea was blessed with a loving family. She married Ricky Piotter on April 28, 1990, at St. John Lutheran Church in Port Hope, MI. They raised their three children with love, discipline, and humility. She taught them to be all they could be despite the circumstances, continuing to support and humbly cheer them on no matter the path they chose. She attended St. John Lutheran School and Port Hope High School, then graduating from Great Lakes Junior College of Business in June 1994 with a certificate in Word Processing/Clerk Typist. Andrea was a hard worker her entire life, having various career paths before finding herself again at St. John Lutheran, holding titles of church and school secretary, as well as janitor. She was both kind and soft-spoken, enjoying crossword puzzles, soap operas, bowling, and travelling to new places with her family. She will be remembered for her laughter and caring nature. She will be dearly missed by her loved ones, who celebrate the fact she is at peace with her Lord. Andrea is survived by her husband Ricky; her daughters Bridget (Aaron) Piotter-Goretski and Courtney Piotter (Ryan Jones); her son Derrick Piotter; her brother A. Mark (Tracy) Schave; sister-in-law Carol (Jerry) Kube; nephews Chris and Jared; and mother-in-law Shirley Piotter. She was preceded in death by her sister Laura Lee; nieces and nephews Leney, Cady, Mark, Morgan, and Macy; and her parents.
