Andrea Marie Easley was born September 5, 1959, and raised in the farming community of Oakley, California, where she grew up on the family ranch and learned the values of hard work, responsibility, and service. In 1987 she met Daniel Easley, and they married in 1989, making their home on a walnut farm in Knightsen, where they raised their three boys, Peter, Michael, and David.
A beloved elementary school teacher in Tracy for twenty-five years, Andrea truly loved helping children learn and grow, and she continued to substitute even after retiring. Anchored by her faith and devoted to her family, she treasured traveling with Daniel and doting on her seven grandchildren. Her greatest joy was always her family, a life rooted in faith, family, and service.
