Andrea “Andie” Lee Lawson

Andrea Davis Lawson, “Andie” of Cohasset MA and Rohnert Park CA passed away peacefully at the age of 82 surrounded by family on October 31, 2022. Andie was born on February 1, 1940, in Boston MA. Predeceased by her loving parents, Helen and Arnold Brandt, and sisters, Katherine Clapp, and Ellie Brown.

Andie was raised and attended school in Rockland MA, where she made lifelong friends. A born caregiver she planned to become a nurse, but life had other plans. Andie married her high school sweetheart, Linwood “Lenny” L. Davis and started a family. Together they moved to Cohasset in the early 60’s, where they built a home and raised their 5 children, caregiving she did.

Andie volunteered for the schools and always helped anyone who needed it. Andie provided in home care to the elderly and enjoyed caring for children, you would often find up to 10 in her care at any given time. Andie also cooked for the nuns at Emanuel College and Notre Dame in Hingham.

A beach lover, from May-September, look for her by day at the Beach with kids in tow and friends nearby. After the evening meal Andie would be around the kitchen table with family and friends with a board or card game in play.

Always a thrill seeker, riding roller coasters was not enough, so she and her friends started sky diving in the late 1970’s. Her third jump was near perfect, great jump and landing, except she broke both ankles, one in 5 places. No more sky diving for her!

During a trip to California in 1990 Andie met the man that would become her second husband, Albert “Milo” Lawson, who she was married to for over 20 years until his death in 2012.

Andie was known to be fun, loving, empathetic, and independent making friends everywhere she went. Andie’s lifelong friends Jeanne, Peggy, and Eileen, became known as the “Golden Girls.” They traveled to Florida for winters, met in MA or CA, and loved to play cards together wherever they went.

Andie is survived by her children and their spouses Monica Savon of CA, Debbie Davis of Kingston MA, Ken & Angela Davis of FL, Carol & Steve Walker of CA, Glenn & Amy Davis of Cohasset MA. Her loving stepchildren Kitty Lawson of ME, Monique Lachance of ME, Tina Linscot of ME, David & Cindy Lawson of Canada, Raymond & Brian Pattulo of ME. Siblings Jessica Grace of Methuen MA, John Brandt Pawtucket RI. Many cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends. Andie was blessed with 15 loving grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren who she loved spending time with.
