Andrea Metzler

December 31, 1969 — March 25, 2019

Andrea Sue Metzler, 62, of Brewster, KS was called home to our Lord on March 25, 2019 in Crossville, TN after a lengthy battle with pancreatic cancer.



Sue was born May 8th, 1956 in Colby, KS the youngest child of Alvin and Allie Helin. She attended Brewster High school where she had many friends and participated in multiple sports and activities. During High School, she worked at Unitec in Brewster along with serving food in her parents' restaurant in Brewster. Many of her close friends will recall countless hours riding horses with Sue or listening to tunes in the basement of the Helin home. Sue graduated in 1974 and attended Fort Hays State University.



Sue didn't have to look very far to find the man of her dreams. In 1967, Bill's family moved, not just to Brewster, but right across the street from the Helins! On June 14th, 1976, she married William "Bill" Metzler, her best friend and longtime sweetheart, at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. Sue was a devoted wife and mother and together they raised three children while traveling around the US wherever Bill was stationed. When Bill retired in 2018, they settled in the mountains of TN, where Sue could enjoy the breathtaking mountain views.



Sue's favorite past times were traveling and watching sports. She loved watching the Kansas City Royals, Denver Broncos, and the KU Jayhawks! One of her favorite memories was when she had the opportunity to attend a Royals game with her father, Alvin. She and Bill also enjoyed cruising with family. Their most recent, being this Feb. when all the Metzlers were able to enjoy a Caribbean Cruise together. Although Sue's health was failing, they were so thankful to share this memory together. Her favorite vacation was a surprise anniversary trip spent with Bill and her family in the mountains of Tennessee. Bill and Sue loved being with family and enjoyed watching their grandchildren participate in as many activities as they could. Sue accepted Christ as a young girl and was a woman of deep faith. While her sweet smile will be missed here on earth, her family is comforted by her heavenly homecoming.



Sue is survived by her husband Bill of Tennessee; her three children, Melissa (Dave) Wilhelm of Orlando, FL, Timothy (Amy) Metzler of St Cloud, FL, and Rachel (Chris) Bromley, of Holly Springs, NC; her brother, Jerry (Doris) Helin, of Colby, KS; her sister Daryl Ann (Russell) Jorgensen, of Brewster, KS and eleven grandchildren, Kayli Wilhelm, Alanna Wilhelm, Quinn Wilhelm, Aria Metzler, Lily Metzler, Brie Metzler, Jasmine Chandler, Anthony Chandler, Nick Chandler, Kelsey Bromley, and William Bromley.



She was preceded in death by her parents, Alvin Helin and Allie (Lewallen) Helin; her father-in-law, Merle Metzler and brother-in-law Bob Rundel.
