Marie C. Andrews-Ladd

Marie Cecelia Andrews-Ladd was born in Chicago, IL in 1917. Her parents Emil and Victoria Wachter moved to San Diego, CA in 1918 where they raised their only child.
Her first husband Howard Livingston Clayton was a submariner who was lost at sea on June 12, 1943 during WWII. Marie was a volunteer for the Red Cross and the U.S.O. at this time. In September 1943 she became employed as a probate secretary for Mr. Hal G. Hotchkiss in San Diego until her marriage to Rubin E. Andrew in 1950 and subsequent relocation to PA where she raised her family. During these years she was also a volunteer with the literacy program. Marie reentered the work force in 1970 and advanced to the position of Executive Secretary to the President of Brotherhood’s Relief and Compensation Fund in Harrisburg.
Following her retirement she embarked upon a new career as a Realtor with Balderston Real Estate in Camp Hill. During this time she was also a volunteer Docent for over fifteen years with the State Museum of PA.
Marie was preceded in death by her husbands and her son Greg Andrews and is survived by a daughter, Barbara Andrews. She is also survived by an extended family from her marriage to George T. Ladd.
Marie deeply affected so many people during her long and full life and will be dearly missed by those she has left behind.
