Andrea Nicole Ruffing

Words on a page will never be enough to describe what Andrea meant to us:

She was born on November 20, 1987 at Poudre Valley Hospital at 8:02 am and from that moment on our lives were never the same. Her bright personality filled us with joy from the very beginning and as she grew up in Fort Collins/Bellvue Colorado she touched so many lives with her love for Jesus and her love as a teacher at RCS training up her little preschoolers to know about Jesus.

Her absolute deep love for her family will leave a void as she leaves her Dad Mark, Mom Tami, sister Erica and husband Adam and their children (nephew) Parker, (nieces) Adelaide, Brielle, Gwendolyn, & Juliette along with Andreas younger brother Chadd and his wife Corin.

She also had many Aunts, Uncles, cousins and friends that will miss her.

Her 8 1/2 year battle with Brain cancer allowed her to bring Light to everyone she came in contact with as she received treatments for her illness. The word "Sweet" was synonymous whenever her name was mentioned!

Our lives without her will never be the same and heaven gained an angel as we know she is twirling around and dancing in heaven in her pink dress for eternity!

A "Celebration of Life" will be held this Saturday October 24th at 10:00 am at Timberline Church in the South Auditorium. There will be a "pink balloon" release at the end of the gathering around 12:30 pm. just outside.

To honor Andrea please wear something Pink...
