Andra Scott Price
Age 75, of Dimondale, MI, passed away May 12, 2019. She was born November 20, 1943, in Lansing, MI, to Robert and Ruth Scott.
Andra attended J.W. Sexton High School and Michigan State University where she obtained both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees.
She had an interesting and varied career including first working for the Michigan Supreme Court, next an independent mid-Michigan newspaper company, and then spending a majority of her career as a script writer and video producer at Lansing Community College.

Andra loved the wilderness and outdoors. She was an avid hiker and backpacker. She was a big fan of all the Great Lakes, but was most fond of her days spent with family and friends on Lake Michigan beaches.
She was very creative and loved her hobbies of photography, making dried flower arrangements, and artwork made from drift wood. Andra was very caring and thoughtful when it came to her family, friends, colleagues, and those in need.

May 14, 2019 at 12:16 pmWe had this way of sharing good times and bad with each encounter ending with us laughing so hard, we were crying. I will miss my confidante, my anchor, my friend.

May 14, 2019 at 2:42 pmAndra – you took this city gal down the Grand Canyon, down the Colorado River, through the Rocky Mountains and taught me I could live without my makeup, hair dryer or curling iron! We sang show tunes and became “Bosom Buddies”. I loved our talks, walks, and picture taking adventures. The laughing was the best! Oh, how I will miss you.

May 16, 2019 at 2:57 pmEven though we hadn’t seen each other in a while, I cherish the memory of Andra as one who welcomed me to Michigan, and tried to show me what it had to offer outdoors. She was a wonderful, warm person.

May 17, 2019 at 4:32 pmAndra, I didn’t know you for very long. I haven’t even seen you in years. I was just a student employee in your department at LCC. But it broke my heart to hear of your passing. You are one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. You had this amazing way of making people feel good about themselves. You lit up every room you entered with warmth and kindness and it saddens me to think that that light is gone and we are all just a little colder for it’s absence. But I know you are in the brightest and most beautiful of places now and we will meet again someday. Thank you for making my life brighter. Thank you for making me feel important and appreciated. I wish I could have told you how much your kind words and actions meant to me. But perhaps now you do know. I hope so.

She lit up a room, made everyone feel important. A trooper for all. She had everyone’s back, and you had her’s. I was so sorry to read of Andra’s passing and am so sorry for your loss.
