Born on September 26, 1981, to Theodore Wesley Cordy and Valeria Vann Cordy Cray, Andrea was raised in Lithonia and Stone Mountain, Georgia. She graduated from Stephenson High School in 2000, where her bright spirit and passion for life began to shine. Andrea attended the University of Georgia, earning a Bachelor of Business Administration and Master of Science in Financial Planning. As a college student, she began living out her belief in service. She led a Girl Scout troop and volunteered with AARP to assist senior citizens with tax preparation. In her professional life, Andrea worked for Liberty Mutual managing a team responsible for national commercial accounts. The highlight of her work was the relationships she developed and the opportunities to help nurture young professionals. Andrea was a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated and The Macon (GA) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated—organizations aligned with her lifelong commitment to excellence, service, and sisterhood. Andrea was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015. Her three year battle had a profound impact in her life, leading her in a bold new direction following recovery. Andrea became a foster parent for two brothers long term (one of whom was battling cancer). Her travel journey took her many places throughout the diaspora including the Caribbean Islands, Cuba, Mexico, Columbia and eventually Ghana, where she found love for, not only the people, culture and pace of life, but also her future husband. On September 8, 2023, Andrea married Edmond Nyanyofio Addo in Accra, Ghana. She later moved to Accra with anticipation of building a new home and a new life in a place that she described as “a place where I am free to be me.” In her recent work as Cancer Coach Andrea, through social media platforms, podcasts, eBooks, and workshops, Andreaworked to support and empower others in their own cancer journey, providing a space for vulnerability and honesty. She was a partner in the recovery journey of many women worldwide, as they navigated some of life’s most difficult times. This work, along with her legacy of love and service, will continue to live on. Andrea is preceded in death by her father, Theodore Wesley Cordy. She is lovingly remembered and deeply missed by her husband, Edmond Addo; mother, Valeria Cray; stepfather, Don Cray; brother, Derrick Cordy; sister-in-law, Regina Joice Cordy; stepbrother, stepsisters along with devoted aunts, uncles, cousins-who were like siblings, extended family, and friends all who were blessed by her vivacious spirit. Andrea’s life was defined not by accolades but by the lives she touched. Andrea will always be remembered for her steady presence, wise counsel, witty aphorisms, and the courage she showed to live life fully with her heart wide open. In lieu of flowers, we kindly ask our friends and loved ones to consider contributing to a memorial fund in honor of Andrea at https://gofund.me/e9de90de. Your support will help us to continue the causes closest to her heart including cancer coaching, scholarship and care for her beloved pet, Smokie.
