Andrews Named 2013 Grand Marshal of Hartland Memorial Day Parade

Alice Andrews, the director of the Hartland Senior Center, has been chosen as the 2013 Grand Marshal of the 78th Annual Hartland Memorial Day parade.

As the senior center director for more than 20 years, Andrews was also nominated by Hartland Patch readers as one of the community’s “Greatest Person’s.

In the Hartland Patch story, Community Education Director Michelle Otis called Andrews “one of the best sharers I know.”

“She’s one of the greatest people in Hartland and I think it’s because not only her dedication to the job but her to dedication to people,” Otis said. “She has a way of modeling the way everyone should strive to be.” 

According to Community Life Newspaper, Andrews and her family moved to Livingston County in 1986, where she and her husband, Ted, became very involved in the Hartland community. 

Serving on the boards of Lakes Elementary P.T.O., Hartland Players and Encore Youth Theater, Andrews also raised four children who all graduated from Hartland Schools.

In March, Otis confirmed Andrews’s decision to semi-retire from the senior center, reducing her hours and responsibilities. Leaving behind her full-time work schedule this summer, Community Life reports that Andrews is “looking forward to spending more time with her three grandchildren: Jacob, Kate and Garrison.”

The parade will start at 12 p.m. in the village of Hartland on May 27. The parade route will begin at Hartland Middle School and end at Village Elementary School.
