Andrea Lynne Henault

Andrea Lynne Henault, age 39, passed away on Sunday February 25, 2024, at the New Bedford Jewish Convalescent Home in New Bedford, MA.  She fought a long, hard battle of 11 years to glioblastoma brain cancer. Always remaining positive and in good spirits throughout her ordeal.

Andrea will forever be known for extending her kindness and her willingness to help others. She liked all animals, dolphins being a favorite of hers. Growing up Andrea enjoyed playing volleyball, pool, and camping. Andrea was a good friend to everyone she knew. To know her was to love her. She most importantly loved being a stay-at-home mom to her three children. “They were her whole world” in her words.

Henault and his companion Geri Lambert, her mother Claudine “Chicki” (Fleck) McGuire, brother Jason Fleck and step-brother Zach McGuire. Along with many aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends.
