Obituary of Andrea F Preston

Andrea Preston passed away peacefully at her home in Fort Atkinson on Wednesday, April 12, 2023, surrounded by her loving family.   

Born Andrea Faye Wadley,   she and her husband Jeff Preston, both originally from Kankakee, IL moved to Fort Atkinson in 1988 right after their wedding.  Her death occurred just 4 days shy of their 35^th wedding anniversary. 

 Andrea (known as “Ann” to those who knew her from Kankakee) worked at Fort Community Credit Union for 32 years, beginning as a receptionist and retired in 2020 as an Executive Assistant.  Before that she worked at First Trust & Savings Bank in Kankakee for 18 years as a Personal Banker.

Andrea had made the most of her retirement by fully indulging her interests—first and foremost her grandchildren and family time at their cabin, her home and bird watching, wildlife photography and scrapbooking.

In addition to her husband Jeff, she is survived by her son Corey (Julie) Mills and their daughters  Abigail and Kaitlyn, of Brodhead, and her son,  Ben Preston and his partner Dominique Infelise, of Madison;  and, her sister Kim (Don) Rapier of  Bradley, Il; and a niece Brittani Overacker and her son Ayden, of California.
