Darlene Louise Andrews, age 96, of Osage Beach, Missouri passed away on October 4, 2025, at her home in Osage Beach, Missouri. She was born on January 4, 1929, in Maryville, Missouri, and she was a daughter of Ava and Lena (Blake) Pistole. She was united in marriage to Ronald Andrews on February 12, 1950. They shared 52 years together at the time of his passing.
Darlene was born and raised in Nodaway County, Missouri. She was a 75 year member and one of the founding members of the First Christian Church in Hopkins, Missouri. She was very active in the P.E.O. Chapter in Hopkins, Missouri. She was known to many as “Squeak”, but to her family, she was known as Grandma. She loved to take care of her family, and she stood out as the person that everyone looked to. Anyone who met her adored her, and her legacy will live on in the lives of her family.
Some of Darlene’s hobbies were quilting, sewing, cooking, and baking. She was known for big family dinners for both sides of her family, that would even sometimes be on the exact same day, just hours apart. She made appliqued sweatshirts and shipped them all over the United States. She also made wedding cakes for people throughout the northern part of Missouri.
Darlene is survived by her daughter Maureen May (Robert); her grandchildren Tanya, Eric (Mindy), Brandi, and Gus (April); her great grandchildren Cole, Clay, Cash, Tiffany, and Zach; her great-great grandchildren Delanie, Creek, Ada, Hudson, Oaklyn, Azlyn, River, Lauryn, and Stetson; other relatives and many friends.
Darlene was preceded by her husband Ronald Andrews; her son Rick Richard Andrews; and her siblings Dale, Elizabeth, John, and Charlie.
Graveside services will be held on Friday October 24, 2025, at 11:00 am at the Hopkins Cemetery in Hopkins, Missouri under the care of Price Funeral Home.
In Lieu of flowers the family has asked that expressions of sympathy can be made to the First Christian Church of Hopkins, Missouri.
Arrangements are under the direction of Hedges-Scott-Millard Funeral Homes, 514 Highway 42, Osage Beach, MO 65065 (573) 348-3232. Condolences may be left online for the family at www.hedgesscottmillard.com.
