Andrea L. Crampton

Andrea L. Crampton was born on November 12, 1982 in Toledo, OH, to Joyce (Clift) and Robert Crampton. Cherished daughter, sister, niece, cousin, and friend, Andrea was a firecracker from the moment she entered this world. A bright light with a creative spark and sassiness to spare, she was a lifelong music-lover who delved into all manner of artistic pursuits such as painting, drawing, writing, and summer theater. Growing up, she was a bundle of energy who enjoyed participating in Brownies & Girl Scouts, Little League and high school track.

Those who knew and loved her will always remember her as a fiercely loyal friend with a huge heart who was always ready to lend a helping hand. Her glowing personality and sharp wit dazzled as much as the big, beautiful smile that lit up her eyes and whole face when she shined it - her Miss America smile, some called it.

A deeply resilient soul, she lived life on her own terms. Andrea had wanted to become a drug rehab counselor so she could use her own experiences to help others.

Andrea is preceded in death by her father, Robert Crampton, beloved grandmother, Leona Clift (née Babbs), grandfather, Richard Clift Sr., and grandmother, Barbara Risner, aunt, Susan Kieffer (née Clift), aunt, Kathy Quick (née Clift), uncle, Rodney Clift.

Andrea is survived by her devoted mother, Joyce Crampton, brother, Eric Crampton (Tasha Kaczorowski), uncles: John Kieffer, William Clift, Richard (Kathy Ann) Clift, Jr., David Clift, Ronald Clift, aunts: Rhonda (Paul) Skidmore, Renee (Lynn) Hartley, Debbie Dwight.

Her family would like to personally thank her friend and caretaker, Justin Fife, for his time and dedication in these hard times. Andrea also leaves behind many other family members and friends who will miss her dearly.

Andrea passed into the arms of her Grandma Clift and her savior Jesus Christ at her home on Saturday, January 20th, with her mother by her side.
