It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the peaceful passing of Andi Hess Wingert, a beloved sister, friend, and adventurer. In the quiet moments of the first Sunday of Advent, Andi embarked on her final journey, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and shared adventures.
Andi’s life was intricately woven with that of her sister, Brenda, creating a tapestry of memories, experiences, and the deep bond that only siblings share. Together, they navigated the winding paths of life, finding solace and joy in the shared moments of laughter, tears, and the simple pleasures of sisterhood.
One of the many cherished snapshots of their shared journey is captured in a picture from the Camino de Santiago, where Brenda and Andi, backpacks and walking sticks in hand, embraced the spirit of adventure and discovery. This image reflects not only their love for hiking but also the profound connection that made their sisterhood an extraordinary and enduring bond.
As we mourn the physical departure of Andi, let us celebrate the life she lived and the love she generously shared. The support, prayers, and acts of kindness from friends and loved ones during Andi’s final days exemplify the beauty of community and the strength that emanates from the bonds we create in our lifetime.
In this time of reflection, we draw inspiration from Isaiah 52:7, a passage that speaks of the messenger bringing good tidings, proclaiming peace and salvation.
Andi’s journey may have taken her beyond our sight, but the echoes of her laughter, the warmth of her love, and the imprint of her spirit on the paths she trod will forever remain in our hearts.
May Andi find eternal peace, and may Brenda and all who mourn her passing find comfort in the enduring sisterhood that transcends the boundaries of time and space. Our deepest condolences go out to all who feel the void left by Andi’s absence. May her memory be a source of solace and inspiration in the days to come.
