QUEENSBURY – Patricia A. Andrus, 87, of Queensbury, passed away on Tuesday, April 11, 2023, at Elderwood at Ticonderoga.

In her early years, she worked for G & V Laundry.  For many years she worked for CR Bard, until her retirement.

Patricia was an avid reader, wonderful cook and always faithful to watch the horses on OTB.  She loved watching and shopping on QVC.  She loved finding deals on the latest gadgets on QVC, but she not only bought one, she purchased several just in case someone else needed one also, because of this, she was lovingly referred to as the “Gadget Queen”.  Her Yorkie, Bella has been her closest faithful companion over the past nine years. Most of all her family was the center of her life and she was happiest in life, when she was spending time with them.

In addition to her parents and husband, she was predeceased by her stepmother, Betty Duell Langworthy; daughter, Elizabeth “Betsy” Andrus, her great grandchild, Aerolyn Andrus, her brothers, Adelbert Langworthy and Jim Langworthy and her sister, Donna Shorey.
