Andrea Kay Wagg
February 28, 1951 — October 3, 2014
Andrea Kay Wagg, 63, was born in Randolph, Nebraska on February 28, 1951 and passed away peacefully at her home in Whittier surrounded by her loving family on October 3, 2014. Andrea was previously employed at the Montebello Chamber of Commerce for 30 years, the past 25 of which she was President and CEO, and had just recently retired. Andrea loved her job, but mostly the long lasting friendships she made along the way.
First and foremost, Andrea was devoted to her family. She recently celebrated her 43rd wedding anniversary with her high school sweetheart and loving husband Marvin. To honor their special day, they vacationed in Pismo Beach—one of Andrea’s favorite places to relax and spend quality time together.
The love and pride Andrea felt for her sons, Jason and Scott, was immeasurable. As young boys, she cheered them on at all of their sporting events. As young men, she taught them to be respectful, and instilled the belief that hard work and dedication would carry them as far as they wanted to go in life. As men (husbands and fathers), she encouraged them to love unconditionally and reminded them how precious family is.
Andrea has been blessed with five beautiful grandchildren that have given her so much pleasure. Julianna, Cassidy, Jacob, Hadleigh, and Lucas are her pride and joy. She thoroughly enjoyed every moment with them, and they did with her as well. She was a wonderful daughter and a great sister.
Andrea loved to travel from Jamaica to Alaska, Hawaii and just up and down the California coast. She loved to shop especially for anything Brighton. She absolutely loved bears and has a great collection. She also enjoyed gardening and re-doing the interior design of her home. She loved spending with her friends and planning events both personally and professionally,
Andrea is survived by her loving husband, Marvin N. Wagg of Whittier, her sons, Jason (Christina) Wagg of Brea and Scott (Marisa) Wagg of Whittier, and her grandchildren, Julianna & Cassidy Wagg of Brea and Jacob, Hadleigh and Lucas Wagg of Whittier. Andrea also leaves her parents, Frank and Marge Spatz of San Clemente, her sister Joanie (Stephen) Inlow of San Juan Capistrano and her brother, Mark Spatz of San Clemente and her mother-in-law, Audrey Wagg of Whittier. Also surviving Andrea are her nieces and nephews, Jeff (Amanda) Inlow of Irvine, Alana Inlow of Washington, Reina Inlow of San Juan Capistrano, Chelsea (Clay) Campbell of Santa Ana, Samantha Spatz of San Clemente and she is predeceased by her nephew, Christopher Spatz.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to the Susan G. Komen Foundation to help fight Breast Cancer, which Andrea fought hard against for approximately 15 years. You may donate online at the following web site under memorial donations.
