Andrea Santore
September 28, 1974 - August 6, 2024
Andrea Santore was born a radiant spirit on September 28, 1974, and departed this world far too soon on August 6, 2024. A woman of incredible strength and determination, Andrea left an indelible print on the hearts of her loved ones and everyone she encountered.
She was a beacon of love to her husband, Bronson Loatman. Their union in 2018 was marked by a profound depth of affection and camaraderie. Her children, Luis “Mikey”, Angelia, Christian, and Enrique Rojas, will always remember their mother as the loving, determined, funny, and generous woman who taught them about strength and compassion. She also leaves behind her treasured grandson, Emmett “Otter” Ramirez-Rojas; brother, Phillip Christensen-Ames; sister, Stevie Keeley; and daughter-in-law, Lilibeth Ramirez.
Andrea was predeceased by her grandparents, Michael and Elizabeth Champagne. She also joins her father, Patrick Santore, in peaceful rest.
Andrea graduated from Wilmington University with a bachelor’s degree in business management in 2017, demonstrating her keen intelligence and drive. She navigated her professional life with the same tenacity and determination that she applied in her personal life.
Andrea had a rich appreciation for music, particularly admiring artists like Johnny Cash, Jamey Johnson, Hank Williams, Hank Williams III, David Allen Coe, Clutch and many others. Her favorite films included Blues Brothers, Harlem Nights, and the magical Harry Potter series. Purple was her favorite color, a hue that perfectly reflected her vibrant personality.
Andrea loved to pass the time with embroidery and reading, cultivating a rich inner world that mirrored her exterior life’s richness. Her loving, determined, funny, and generous nature will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
Andrea Santore, a life beautifully lived, will forever be in our hearts. Her memory will be a guiding light, reminding us of the power of laughter, the importance of resilience, and the beauty of selfless love.
Andrea’s wish was to be privately cremated. No service by her request.

What a beautiful tribute to our Andrea. So thankful for all of the love, stories and adventures we’ve had. She was one of a kind. If you were fortunate to be loved by her, she loved unconditionally! Rest easy my sister from another mister.

I had the pleasure of working with her at Walmart back in 2005 or 2006. She had the greatest personality that kept everyone around her in stitches. I also met her children and even watched them for her a few times when she didn’t have a babysitter. My prayers and condolences go out to her family
