Andrea Mckenzie (Lewis) Underwood Obituary (1980

Andrea McKenzie (Lewis) Underwood passed gently as she left us May 26, 2024. Andrea was born February 21, 1980 to her parents, Don and Kathy Lewis of Prosser, WA. She joined her older brother, Heath, sister, Tricia, and later, her sister, Veronica. Her childhood was shaped by a happy life on a fruit farm, playing outside, horses, Barbies, Summer Rec, Aunt Betty’s pool, learning to work in the orchards, reading, 4-H, FFA, and family celebrations. She later became the planner of family events. She attended Prosser Schools K-12 (class of 1998) and received her Bachelor’s Degree from WSU in Social Sciences. She married Kyle Underwood in 2007 in a glorious wedding where she planned every detail. Her true calling, however, was being a mother. Chloe Jane arrived in 2010 and Jakob Bjorn arrived in 2015. Nothing gave her more joy than her children and she embraced every minute. Andrea gave of herself to those she loved and to be in her presence was always a genuine pleasure. She was known for her strong, heartfelt opinions and her ability to make instant decisions. She could be described as our “rock”, as she held everyone together with her thoughtfulness, support, and loyalty; her guidance was true. Andrea is survived by her husband, Kyle; daughter, Chloe Underwood; son, Jay Underwood; parents, Don & Kathy Lewis; brother, Heath Niemi (Michele), nieces, Kimber & Kendall of Dallas, TX; sister, Tricia Niemi of Portland; parents-in-law, Paul & Cindy Underwood of Pasco; beloved family, friends, and her close friend and caregiver, Julie Calvillo. She was preceded in death by her sister, Veronica Lewis; Grandparents, Don & Nancy Lewis; and Grandparents, Dick & Erma Hileman. A gathering to honor Andrea will be held June 14, 2024, 6:30 PM at Martinez & Martinez Winery, 357 Port Ave, Prosser. Condolences can be sent to PO Box 628, Prosser, WA 99350.
