At sunrise, May 7, 2017, Rita Andelin peacefully passed away in Arlington, VA. Her 100th birthday lapel pin said "I survived just about everything," which was truer than not. Born in Chicago, she moved to California in 1948, then to Virginia in 1984. Her husband of nearly 62 years, John Philip Andelin, passed away in 1995. She is survived by her son, John Philip Andelin, Jr., and her daughter-in-law, Virginia Geoffrey, as well as the dozens of extended family members from around the world she dearly loved. She was a wonderful example of someone living a full and interesting life. Graveside services were held at Columbia Gardens on May 10, 2017. Donations in Rita's memory may be made to your favorite charity.
