Canandaigua: Martha “Mickie Finn” Andres, 89, passed away August 5, 2016 at her home on Canandaigua Lake. Born in Waterbury, CT to Judge Edward J. Finn and Christine Kenney Finn, she was preceded in death by her parents, her loving husband William J. Andres, Jr. (USAF, Ret.), sisters Christine Leonard and Frances Taber and brother Edward J. Finn, Jr. She is survived by her sister, Sr. Louise Finn, CND, her brother-in-law Edward Taber, her six children: Patricia Barwig, Elizabeth DeFranco (James), Martha Guenther (Michael), William J. Andres III (Elizabeth), James Andres (Diane), and Timothy Andres (Susan), 13 grandchildren, 7 great-grandchildren (with another on the way) and many cousins, nieces and nephews. Mickie was a lifelong learner, a voracious reader, an avid bridge player and an active community spirit, having volunteered for the League of Women Voters, the Monroe County Home, F.F. Thompson Hospital and Literacy Volunteers of Ontario County, where she helped countless people to read and write English. Once her kids were in school, Mickie earned an AA in computer science from Monroe Community College and was a computer programmer for Genesee Hospital and Canandaigua National Bank. She’ll be remembered fondly as a loving Mom, a loyal friend, a brilliant wit, and a world-class grandmother.
