Age 85 • Inver Grove Heights
Andrienne “Andy” Atkins passed away peacefully in her sleep on June 9, 2025.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Marion “Gene” Atkins; her parents, Clarence and Mary; and siblings Gene, Dick, Darlene, Gloria, and Joanne.
She is survived by her sons, Joe (Julia) and Randy; grandchildren, John (Lindsay), Tom (Alexanna), and Katie; great-granddaughter, Riley; siblings, Patty and Bill; as well as many treasured nieces, nephews, and lifelong friends.
Andy’s joy came from putting others first and savoring life’s simple pleasures—hosting “Sunday Lunch with Grandma,” catching up with friends at the Sunlight Café, shopping trips to Herberger’s with Patty, dancing to Elvis, celebrating holidays with family, and sipping half a beer at weddings. Her warmth, humor, sincerity, and love touched all who knew her and will be deeply missed.
A Celebration of Andy’s Life will be held on June 18, 2025, from 4:00 – 7:00 pm at Roberts Funeral Home, 8108 Barbara Avenue, Inver Grove Heights. A brief service will take place at 5:00 pm. Private interment at Resurrection Cemetery.
