Andrea “Andy” Maxine Stafford

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. Andrea “Andy” Maxine Stafford, 80, of Bluejacket, OK, passed away on March 20th, 2026, at The Solace House of the Ozarks in Joplin, MO. Andrea was born on October 13th, 1945, to Charles Hollaway and Maxine Woolman-Hollaway in Vinita, OK. She was the oldest of two siblings Sandrea Pitts and Janet Roberts. After graduating from Vinita High School in 1963, she went to work at CINCH Systems Inc. Andrea had four children: Timothy Williams, Terry Williams, Teresha Henson, and Kimberly Stafford.

She was a God-loving woman whose faith carried her through every season of life. A true warrior, she faced hardship with strength, grace, and an unshakable trust in the Lord. Through everything she endured, she never lost herkindness or her giving spirit, always putting others before herself and loving with her whole heart. She was known for her sweet soul, her caring nature, her amazing artistic talents, and the way she made everyone feel seen and loved. Whether through her words, her prayers, or simply her presence, she touched countless lives. She was the type of woman who would give her last and still find a way to smile. Her life was a testimony of faith, resilience, and unconditional love. She taught us to trust in the Lord even in the hardest times and showed us what it truly meant to live a life full of compassion and strength.

She is survived by her husband, Darrell Stafford; her children, Terry Williams and Kimberly Stafford; her sister Sandrea Pitts and brother-in-love Duane Pitts; her niece and nephew Alanna Frank, Travis Pitts, Jeremy and Jacob Roberts; her grandchildren, Krystle Sirilla, Cody Williams, Chelsea Ratxloff, Kate Harrje, True Williams, Sarah Williams, Blake Henson, Brad Henson, Kelsi Foust, and Taylor Foust; as well as many great-grandchildren and many other family members and loved ones who will forever cherish her memory. She is now at rest with those who went before her, including her parents, Maxine Woolman and Charles Hollaway; her daughter, Teresha Henson; her son, Timothy Williams; and her beloved sister, Janet Roberts.

Though our hearts are broken, we find comfort in knowing she is resting in the arms of the Lord she loved so deeply. She was, and always will be, the best there ever was. A service to celebrate her life will be held on March 28th at 10:30 a.m. at Friends Church, 209 I St NE, Miami, OK 74354
