Andrea Renée Harris, 53, of Lancaster, PA, passed away on June 30, 2022. Andrea was born in Lancaster to the late Dorothy (Dottie) Harris and the late William B. Harris.
Friends and family were the most important things in Andrea’s life, and she cherished those relationships.

She is also survived by her husband of almost 25 years, Garret Byrne of Lancaster.
Andrea was a graduate of Manheim Township High School and The Pennsylvania State University where she earned a Bachelor of Architecture. She was a talented designer and had an accomplished and rewarding career in her chosen field that provided opportunities to work on diverse and high-profile projects of many kinds. She was particularly proud of her contributions to the Ronald Reagan Building, the Pittsburgh Federal Courthouse expansion, and the renovation of the Georgetown Incinerator.
Andrea enjoyed traveling, experiencing different cultures and indulging her adventurous side.

Garrett and Andrea’s Family,
I just learned of Andrea’s passing yesterday talking to an old friend as we made plans for our 30th year PSU reunion. Andrea was a good friend in college, and Garrett not sure if you’ll even remember me but I recall some good times back in those days. Andrea was an amazing talent, and just a terrific person. So sorry to hear she is gone. I often wondered how you both were doing, and am glad to hear you had over 25 years together. Almost a year has passed but I hope this message gets to you all. I know from experience hearing from folks in times of great loss can be helpful. Wishing you all the best.

Garret,
Luis and I are deeply saddened by the passing of Andrea. I only met her a couple of times, but she was such a sweet kind person as well as you. Once you both moved and we lost touch, I never forgot how kind you both were to me. We are thinking about you and I am praying for you and the family. Cherish the wonderful memories you have with her. Hope to see you in the near future and continue our contact.
Our most sincere sympathies.
Luis and Maria Rouco
