With a heavy heart, we announce the passing of Andrea Gail Walters, who left this world on July 25, 2025, at the age of 43. Born on April 9, 1982, in Circleville, Ohio, Andrea embodied a vibrant spirit that touched the lives of many. She was a loving mother, cherished daughter, sister, aunt and friend.
Andrea will be remembered for her warmth, laughter, and the joyous light she brought into the lives of those around her. Whether sharing hearty laughs over episodes of *Dance Moms* with her daughters, Abby and Carly, or immersing herself in the thrill of Wheelersburg Pirates football games, she approached life with unyielding enthusiasm. As a Licensed Practical Nurse at SOMC, she exhibited unwavering compassion, providing care and comfort to her patients with a heart full of kindness.
Andrea’s vibrant personality shone through during family outings at the beach, adventurous cliff diving, and carefree days spent at the mall. A true artist at heart, she loved doing hair and makeup, often creating magic not only for herself but also for her loved ones. Her home was a haven for her beloved cats, whom she adored as part of her family.
She is survived by her two daughters, Abby Rawlins and Carly Lavender, father, Eddie Barger (Diane Malone); her sister, Jennifer “Sis” Hacker; her niece, Lexi Smith all of Wheelersburg; and her nephews, Trenton and Cameron Pope of Ratliff, Missouri. Andrea is now reunited with her beloved mother, Carolyn (nee Colegrove) Barger, who preceded her in death.
As we navigate the days ahead, let us carry Andrea’s legacy of love, joy, and connection, and may her memory be a guiding light, reminding us to embrace every moment with laughter and love.
