Obituary for Lauretta R. Andrews (Stockton)
Lauretta R. Andrews, of Iron Mountain, went to be with Our Lord on September 5, 2014, at home with loving family at her side.
She was born January 18, 1930, in Chicago, Ill. at Grant Hospital daughter of the late Richard and Laura (Gilbank) Stockton.
Lauretta graduated from Lakeview High School, Class of 1948. During her teenage years she babysat, worked at Andes Candies making and selling their candy, and Montgomery Wards in the time scheduling department.
She stayed in the Chicago area until, through a mutual friend met a handsome service man, George Andrews, with whom she fell in love. Lauretta moved to Iron Mountain and they were married on September 5, 1953. George preceded her in death in 1990.
When she moved to Iron Mountain, she worked at Aluminum Specialty, where they were making bombs during the Korean war. Her job there was to make sure that there was no excess oil in the parts.
Lauretta was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother.
