Andrea “Andi” Lynn (Cox) Steer, 53, of Monticello, passed away peacefully at 10:13 p.m. on November 12, 2025 at IU Health Arnett Hospital in Lafayette, Indiana.

Born on February 25, 1972, in Monticello, Andi was the daughter of the late John Cox and Deborah (Brady) Gerlach.

A 1990 graduate of Twin Lakes High School, Andi continued her education, earning a bachelor's degree from Purdue University, followed by her funeral director's license from Worsham College, and later earning her master's degree from Tarleton State University.

  On April 14, 2008, Andi married the love of her life, Donald Steer, on the serene shores of Vancouver Island. Their life together was one of compassion and laughter. Don survives in Monticello.

Andi was a woman of gentle spirit and private grace. She cherished the simple joys of life- time spent with her beloved dogs, Tommy and Ned, and the excitement of cheering for her Texas Rangers. Those who knew her best will remember her thoughtful heart, and the way she carried herself with quiet dignity.

She is lovingly survived by  her husband, Don of Monticello; her mother Deborah Gerlach of Lafayette; two sisters, Kimberley Gascho (husband, Jim) of Lafayette and Morgan Newbauer (husband, Dan) of Monticello; and thirteen nieces and nephews, Mary Borgerding (husband, Andy), Molly DiCicco (husband, Brandon), Samuel Gascho (wife, Kelsey), Kathryn Gascho; Scarlett Newbauer; Lilly Deane, Sam Deane, Graham Steer, Eli Steer, Macie Steer, Charlotte Steer, Beckett Steer and Ari Steer.

Andi was preceded in death by her father, John Cox.

Visitation will be held on Monday, November 17, 2025 from 5:00pm until 8:00pm at the Fred L. Miller Memorial Chapel of the Roscka Roth & Clapper Funeral Home in Monticello.

Memorials may be made to a local animal shelter or to the American Cancer Society
