January 5, 1970 - October 2, 2010

It is with profound sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of Andrea Louise Spyker.  Strong in body, mind and spirit Andrea embodied the meaning of her name womanly warrior.  Fearless and always ready for an adventure, she convinced many a poor soul to join her on her exploits.  Andrea had a gift for bringing out the talents and strengths in others, compelling them to strive for better.  Andrea's infectious laugh and clever sense of humour brightened and lightened any gathering. Many have been the recipients of Andrea's generosity.  Andrea was born and spent her growing up years in Surrey, BC.  More recently, Andrea had established a successful lifestyle for herself in Cedar, BC, as Branch Manager of Cedar Valley Memorial Gardens.  This summer Andrea was thrilled to announce her engagement to Jay Searson.  Andrea's last months were spent happily making wedding arrangements.  Grieving her sudden departure are Andrea's beautiful daughter and source of pride and joy, Adrianna Spyker; Andrea's parents, Ralph and Jane Spyker, sister Karen Steegstra and her children Nathaniel, Ariel, Micaiah, Axel, Anastasia and Mahalia; brother Maurice Spyker with wife Hieke and their children Reuben, Eileesh, Samaria and Elias; and sister Nancy Spyker; as well as the family of Jay Searson.  Mourning alongside the family are many cousins, aunts, uncles, friends and co-workers.  A Memorial Service celebrating the life of Andrea Spyker was held on Tuesday, October 12, 1:00 pm, at People's Full Gospel Church, 14455 – 104 Avenue, Surrey, BC.  A reception followed at Valley View Memorial Gardens, 14644 – 72 Avenue, Surrey, BC. The family would like to extend their extreme gratitude to Cedar Valley Memorial Gardens, SANDS Funeral Chapel and Valley View Memorial Gardens for all the assistance and support they gave during this time.  View or sign Andrea's guest book.
