Tresha Louise Andrews

Newark, OH – Tresha Louise Andrews, a devoted wife, nurturing mother, and cherished grandmother, passed away peacefully on Sunday, April 20, 2025, at the age of 59. Born in Columbus, Ohio, on Saturday, March 5, 1966, Tresha's life was a testament to love, family, and resilience.

On January 19, 1991, Tresha married the love of her life, Mark Allen Andrews, in a union that lasted over 34 wonderful years. Together they built a beautiful family, and Tresha's legacy lives on through her children: Mark Allen (Dawn) Andrews Jr., Brian Michael Andrews, Keith Ryan (Lindsey) Andrews, Matthew (Sabrina) Andrews, Stacy Louise Andrews, Wendy Marie Andrews, Jeffrey Payton Andrews, and Paul Marshall Andrews. Her grandchildren, Jacob, Jennifer, Rita, Mark, Aryahna, Shyla, and Harmony, will always remember their grandmother's warmth and affection.

Tresha was preceded in death by her beloved father, John Blankenship, and her dear daughter, Stacy Louise Andrews; and a brother, Robert Joseph "Bobby" Blankenship. She is now reunited with them in eternal peace.

Tresha pursued her education and received an Associate's Degree in business. While she chose to be a homemaker, dedicating her life and love to her family, she also had a multitude of interests that enriched her life and those around her. She was a passionate gardener, an enthusiastic cook, an avid crafter, and enjoyed playing games with her family. Her home was filled with the aromas of homemade meals, flourishing plants, and creative crafts that she lovingly shared with her family and friends.

Her role as the devoted mother to her eight children was the cornerstone of her life, and she poured her heart into every moment spent with her family. Tresha's life was a profound example of commitment, love, and generosity, touching everyone who had the privilege to know her.

A private visitation to honor Tresha's life will be held at the Criss Wagner Hoskinson Funeral & Cremation Service in Newark, where family will gather to celebrate her life and legacy.

Rest in peace, Tresha Louise Andrews. You will be profoundly missed, but forever cherished in the hearts of those you leave behind.
