Paddy Jo Andrews of Tulsa, Oklahoma passed from this life on Tuesday, March 25th, 2025 at the age of ninety-one. She was preceded in death by her husband, Adam "Buddy" Andrews, her son, Michael Andrews, her parents Lyle and Lois Roulet, and two sisters, Wanda Johnston, and Karen Nightingale.
She was born on a farm in Custer County, Oklahoma, on October 7th, 1933. Her family moved to a farm in Fairland, Oklahoma when she was a Senior in high school, and she graduated from Fairland High School. After graduation, Jo, as she was known, moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma to study nursing, and there she met Buddy. They were married in Tulsa, and for years they traveled through many countries where Buddy was stationed with the US Air Force, and along the way they added three children, Mike, Nancy, and John, to their family.
After Buddy retired from the Air Force, they returned to the States to be closer to their extended families, living in Miami, Bartlesville, and finally Jenks, Oklahoma. Jo resumed her nursing career, and retired after many years of service.
Her Christian faith was always present in her life, and most recently she was a member of Glenpool Church of Christ, until her health prevented her from attending services.
She is survived by her daughter, Nancy, her son, John, four grandchildren, two great grandchildren, her sister Kay Vincent, and many nieces and nephews.
A private graveside memorial service was held, Tuesday, April 1st, 2025 at Floral Haven Cemetery, in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.
The family wishes to thank St Francis Hospice and Clarehouse for their outstanding care and support during her final days.
In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations be made to Clarehouse
