WANDA LEE HUME Wanda Lee Hume, 88, of Oakland City, passed away Saturday, December 15, 2018, at Brookdale of Car- mel. She was born on July 14, 1930, a daughter of the late Earl and Myrtle (Corn) Jones. She married her hus- band of 69 years, Dewayne Hume, on September 13, 1948. She enjoyed gardening, canning, baking and cook- ing, and loved her animals. Most of all, she loved spend- ing time with her family, es- pecially her grandchildren. She is survived by her daughters, Erica (Tom) Gause and Adrienne (Dan- iel) Rowe; grandchildren, Alexis Williams, Bree Rowe, Briley Rowe, Emma Gause, Erin Gause, Megan Gause, David Byrnes and Nichole Wells; great-grandchildren, Brandon and Sierra Martin- dale; brother, Gordon Jones; and several nieces and neph- ews. She was preceded in death by her loving husband; her parents; daughter, Sherrie Hume; and siblings, Paul Jones, Butch Jones, Betty Cunningham and Josie Bor- man. Family and friends will gather Friday, December 28, 2018, for a Celebration of Life from noon-2 p.m. CST at the Wirth Park Community Center on St. Rd. 64, west of Oakland City. In lieu of flowers, memori- al contributions in her name may be made to the Alzhei- mer's Foundation of Ameri- ca, 322 Eighth Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10001. ANDR A E. WEST Andra E. West, of Oak- land City, passed away at home on December 1, 2018, from a year's-long battle with kidney failure. Her great loves in life were, (in no particular or- der): good food, dogs and her mother. Raised in the Chicago suburbs, her moth- er taught her to cook and to appreciate great cuisines from the world over—but if pressed, she would probably say Greek food was her fa- vorite. She spent most of her working life in restaurants, sometimes a server and sometimes an owner. The greatest adventure of her life was traveling to Greece and Egypt with her best friend and her mother de- cades ago, when it was still unusual for women to travel unattended by a man in that part of the world. They rode camels in the shadows of the pyramids and ate spanakop- ita to their hearts' content. Closer to home, she al- ways had dogs. Big or small, mutts or purebreds, she loved them all, and she settled comfortably into the role of the small-town crazy dog lady when she moved from the West Coast to Oak- land City in the late 1990s to be closer to family. She lived with her mother (and a pack of dogs) until her mother's death at home from conges- tive heart failure in 2014. To- gether, they frequented ga- rage sales and stockpiled recipes and tried to get flow- ers to grow in the miserable gumbo clay of their yard. She was stubborn as a Shoultz (which is far worse than any mule), creative, pri- vate and kind to those she knew. She loved and was loved, and that's about all we can ask for in the end. She is survived by her dog, Daisy (who has a good home); several nieces; and a nephew. She was preceded in death by her sister, Jan- ice; brother, Herb; father, Ira; and mother, Inez West (Shoultz). There will be no service. In memory of Andra, do- nations may be made to It Takes a Village Canine Res- cue in Evansville. Family has entrusted Lamb-Bash- am Memorial Chapel for pro- fessional assistance. Family and friends may send messages of comfort to www.lambbasham.
