Andrea was born on December 28, 1973 in Somerset, KY to Rick Ridner and Deborah Dianne Meece Jones. Andrea was of the Baptist Faith. She was a former Pulaski County Cheerleader and PCYFL Cheerleading Coach. She was very proud of her sobriety and completion of RDAP; however, her most prized achievement was her beautiful daughter, Taylor McKenzie Vaught. Andrea was a three year breast cancer survivor. She loved to read, write, decorate, travel and investigate, but most of all she loved helping people and her laugh was contagious.
She leaves behind a daughter who never left her side, Taylor McKenzie Vaught (DJ Smith) of Somerset, KY; her best friend/English Bulldog, King Nikko; her cat Princess Cersei. She also leaves behind her father, Rick Ridner (Linda) of Somerset, KY; her mother Deborah Dianne Jones of Ohio; two brothers, Roger Kameron Young (Alana) of Ohio, and Andrew Richard Ridner of Somerset, KY; a sister, Kendra Paige Young (Curtis Hancock) of Ohio; her grandmother, Doris "Mamaw" Meece of Somerset, KY, an aunt, Tonya Meece of Somerset, KY; three nieces, LaNora, Rose, and Parker; McKenzie's father, Junior Vaught; best friends, Natalie Saylor, Ranae Ruby, and Angi Adams; and three special friends, Bobbie Jo Dopp, Shelby Mayfield, and Dr. Jonathan Ruby.
She is preceded in death by her paternal grandparents, Okel and Genius Ridner; her maternal grandfather Paul Meece; a special cousin, Jasie Breana Calhoun; and a special friend Scott Flynn.
Visitation will be on Friday, July 8, 2022 from 11:00am until 1:00pm at Lake Cumberland Funeral Home.
