Obituary - Marion Hubert Andis
Marion H. "Andy" Andis, 76, passed quietly into the arms of his Lord and
Savior after a courageous battle with cancer on Monday, Aug. 10, 2015, at
his home near Sandpoint, Idaho.
Andy was born in Springville, Indiana, to Claude and Bernadine (Beyers)
Andis on December 23, 1938. He attended school in Springville and graduated
from Oolitic High School in 1957. His passions were hunting, basketball,
motorcycles and spending time with his buddies, family, and cousins.
He served in the U.S. Army from 1959-1962 in Korea and during the Berlin
Crisis. While serving in Texas he met and married Judith Bolli. After his
service they returned to Indiana and then to Denver, Colorado where they had
one daughter, Lorie Beth (Andis) Bruehl. Like many people, they moved to
California, following their dreams and jobs. He went to school to become an
aircraft mechanic. His job with United Airlines lasted until the air traffic
controllers went on strike, and 3000 mechanics were let go. He worked for
Reynolds Metals, in various positions, for 28 years and retired in 2000.
In 1987 he met the love of his life, his best friend, Linda Hart. They moved
to Sandpoint, Idaho in 2003 and were married in 2006. He added new passions
here, including his love of jeeps. Moab, Utah was a favorite place to climb
the slick rocks.
Andy will be remembered for his sense of humor, his stories, his jokes for
every occasion and for being the best friend ever. He knew no strangers and
he will be greatly missed by many.
He was preceded in death by many family members including his parents, his
sister, Imogene (Andis) Watson, and his father-in-law, Richard Kamplain.
He is survived by his loving wife, Linda. His children: Lorie Beth Bruehl,
Steven (Reva) Hart and Cyndi Kelly. His grandchildren: Derrick (Cassie)
Ross, Andy (Meghan) Ross, Heather Bruehl, and Matthew Andis-Bruehl, Wesley,
Samantha, Jadon, and Casey Hart, and Sean Kelly. His great -grandchildren

brother, Chet Andis and fiancé Susie Newport, his nieces; Sherry (Wayne)
Manning, Vickie (Joe) DelVecchio, and Kelly Andis, grea- nephews Alex and
Kyle DelVecchio and lots of cousins and many close and special friends and
families. He was so very proud of his wife, children, grandchildren, and
great grandchildren and loved them all dearly. He loved the Lord and was
assured by His love, grace and mercy.
A memorial service and celebration of his life will be held at 11 a.m. on
Saturday, August 15, 2015 at the Laclede Community Center. At a later date,
Linda and Lorie will take him home to eternal rest in Indiana.
