She was born March 2, 1934, in Binghamton, the daughter of Raymond and Elva (Freiberg) Newschwander.

Andrea graduated from Binghamton North High School in 1952. She married David Moore on March 20, 1954 in Binghamton. He predeceased her on December 7, 2005.

Andrea was a stay-at-home mom for 18 years after which she transitioned to a position as medical transcriptionist at A.O. Fox Memorial Hospital in Oneonta, where she worked for 20 years until she retired. She continued to volunteer at Fox Hospital after retirement as well as for many other community organizations throughout the years.

Andrea was active at the First Presbyterian Church in her younger years and then as a member of the Charlotte Valley Presbyterian Church. She enjoyed singing and was a classically trained soprano soloist, participating in church choirs, community chorales, as well as countless weddings and special occasions.

Andrea and her husband David enjoyed traveling, visiting many places within the United States and abroad. Over the years, they also hosted five Rotary Exchange Students.
