“A wife of noble character…She is worth far more than rubies…A woman who fears the Lord is to be praised…Honor her for all that her hands have done.” Proverbs 31:10
Andrea Lynn Mills, 41, joined her Heavenly Father on Monday, August 19, 2019. Andrea passed away while her beloved husband, Tom Mills, their nine beautiful children and family stood by her side.
Andrea was born June 22, 1978 in Newcastle, Wyoming. She was raised in Moorcroft by Gary and Evonna (Blakeman) Schelling, along with siblings Ryan Schelling, Ami Hanson (Schelling), Bethany Mueller (Schelling), and Laura Schelling.
Her heart’s desire and life’s ambition were always to be a wife and mother. She married the love of her life, Tom Mills, on July 24, 1999 and together they had nine beautiful children.
Andrea’s world revolved around these people, her home and her Lord. She and Tom worked diligently to have a rich, Godly marriage and raise their children to serve the Lord.
Out of a humble home, Andrea created a bountiful harvest. She gardened, cooked, baked, sewed, crafted and organized her home to fulfill every need of her large family. She trusted in God to provide for them.
Andrea inspired countless people with their family’s YouTube channel that chronicled their daily lives. Her channel gave insights into home birth, home school, home church and home business.
Most importantly, her channel showed a home overflowing with God’s love and joy. Andrea’s life and YouTube channel were based completely on her most cherished instruction book, God’s Holy Word. Andrea was truly a woman of noble character.
Andrea is survived by her cherished husband Tom; her precious children, Thomas, Asher, Judah, Justus, Eden, Solomon, Sophia, Claudia and Hannah; a large loving family and world full of friends.
Andrea is preceded in death by her tenth child, Cyrus Grant Mills; her mother, Evonna (Blakeman) Schelling; her grandfather, Kenneth Blakeman; and her cousin, Heather Blakeman.
Graveside services will be at 3 p.m. on Friday, August 23, 2019 at the Moorcroft Cemetery in Moorcroft, WY.
