Andrea Johnson, 44, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, August 9, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love, faith, and service. Born on September 14, 1980, to Reverend Philip Warner West and Cheryl Lunsford West, Andrea lived a life marked by deep devotion to her Savior, her family, and her community. Andrea cherished her role as a wife and mother, always offering unwavering love and support to her family.
