Jeanette A. Wiench Andre, 83, of Altoona, and formerly of Arcadia, passed away on Wednesday, August 7, 2019, at Grace Edgewood Assisted Living in Altoona, under the care of St. Joseph's Hospice.
Jeanette was born in Independence on May 27, 1936, to John and Blanche (Puchalla) Wiench. She attended Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Schools, laying the foundation for her devotion to her Catholic faith. Jeanette married Lee Andre, and the couple moved to Arcadia. Though the two later divorced, they were blessed with four children: Gary Lee, Susan, Lisa and Betty Jo. Jeanette worked for Ashley Furniture Industries and Gold ‘N Plump, where she retired from. In her spare time, she enjoyed gambling, playing BINGO, dancing to Polka music, eating sweets and cooking. Her scalloped potatoes and potato salad were second to none and especially enjoyed by her family.

She was preceded in death by her parents; 2 brothers: Ben and Ed; and 3 sisters: Dorothy Sommers, Ruth Swendrowski, and Marion Books.
