   Funeral services will be held Tuesday at 11:00 a.m. in St. Anne Catholic Church Parish Hall and will be officiated by Monsignor Douglas Reed. Friends may join the family for a reception immediately following the service. The burial will be next week in Sunset View Cemetery in El Cerrito, CA. Miller Funeral Home & Crematory, 735 Virginia Road, Edenton, is assisting the family with arrangements.

   The family requests that flowers be omitted, and contributions in her memory be made to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, P.O. Box 27106, New York, NY 10087. On the memo line of the check it should be noted, “To support Dr. Brentjens’ Research Work”, and a note should be included stating that the contribution is in memory of Judith Andrade.
