Andrea Mccarthy

Andrea McCarthy (nee Kasler), 79, of Vermilion, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 4, 2025, surrounded by her loved ones.

Born on January 8, 1946, in Cleveland, OH, Andrea was a proud graduate of North Olmsted High School, Class of 1964. She made Vermilion her home for over 30 years.

She had an extraordinary ability to connect with people-her kindness, love, and boldness left a lasting impact on everyone she met. She never knew a stranger, and her immense loyalty to those she loved was unwavering.

Andrea’s greatest joy was her family, especially her beloved grandchildren. Through out her life, she enjoyed art, trivia, dancing, gardening, cooking meals for her family and socializing.

She is survived by her father, Victor Cachat; daughter, Dawn Wiencke (Aaron Baugh); granddaughter, Makenna Wiencke (Ben Botzko); and her treasured great-grandchildren, Kurt, Lainey, and Wesley Botzko. She also leaves behind her son-in-law, Joe Trinter; her brother, Tim Kasler; and her cousin, Judy Orne.

She was preceded in death by her beloved daughter, Erin T. McCarthy; her mother, Geraldine (nee Mirka) Cachat; and her grandson, Michael Vincent Wiencke.
