Those family members awaiting a meeting in heaven with Andrea are her husband of 18 years, Jimmy Clayton; sisters, Peg Walrod (Dennis), and Grace Brown; sons, Joseph Costa and Lealon Clayton; grandsons, Jessie Costa and Jacob Clayton; special friends, Sylvia Bishop, Linda Pierce, and Missy Burroughs. Andrea was preceded in death by her parents, Franklin and Clair Frazier; her son, Steven, and daughter, Kris Costa.
