Date of Passing: March 27, 2026

Early Life
She was raised in the small farming town of Tabiona, Utah, Andrea grew up on a farm, with wide open skies, hard work, and a heart pure as gold. She was born to loving parents Brent and Michele Lee of Tabiona. Those roots stuck. She carried quiet strength everywhere she went.

Family & Relationships Andrea had three marriages, most recently to her husband Brandon Mecham (father to Paislee), whom she married on May 27, 2011 they were together for nearly fifteen years. She had two children: son Mason Hughes and daughter Paislee Mecham. She was a tremendous Mother, steady, loving, always there with a hug, gift, cash, or a quiet word. She also welcomed Kendra Hughes, her daughter-in-law, as one of her own.
When Mason and Kendra married, Andrea loved Kendra just like her own child, treating her with the same warmth, pride, and endless support she gave everyone she claimed as family. She always made sure to tell us that Kendra was the favorite, half joking, but we all knew she meant it with love. As a grandmother to three grandkids, she was even better. Those little ones got her full magic: stories, crafts, porch sitting and endless patience.

Life’s Work & Passions
Daycare was her true calling for decades. She watched kids from every family, every background, remembering names, allergies, and favorite songs. Parents trusted her like family. She became a second mom to so many people. She loved simple joys, Dollar Tree runs, turning cheap finds into gifts, scrolling Facebook Marketplace and KSL for treasures, chatting with clerks who turned into friends and talking on her phone. Outgoing, soft spoken, selfless, and she always made strangers feel seen.

Final Days & Legacy
In her last weeks she fought quietly, seeking help and holding on for those she loved. Andrea leaves behind her husband Brandon Mecham (father to Paislee), her son Mason Hughes and Kendra Hughes, grandkids (3), her daughter Paislee Mecham, numerous nieces nephews and a community full of people who will miss her smile.

In lieu of flowers and honoring my mother Andrea, do something she’d love: hug a kid, help a neighbor, smile at someone new. Embrace someone with a warm hug. She loved butterflies. When you see a butterfly please pause. Let it remind you of her warm smile, her selfless caring love, and the quiet way she made the world kinder. Now she has her own set of butterfly wings, free, beautiful, and forever flying. That’s how she’ll live on. We love you, Mom, Grandma, Daughter, Sister and Friend. Fly with the butterflies.
