Andrea Lynn Kline of Gregory, Michigan, age 63, died Saturday, September 12, 2020, at Michigan Medicine in Ann Arbor following a brief illness. Andrea was born January 25, 1957, in Baltimore, Maryland, the daughter of James D. and Barbara Lee (Kelly) Kline.

Andrea graduated from Baltimore’s Woodlawn High School in 1975, completed her undergraduate work at West Virginia University in 1981, and earned her Master's Degree in Landscape Architecture from the University of Michigan’s School for Environment and Sustainability in 1985.

Throughout her professional career, Andrea channeled her passions toward land conservation, habitat restoration and preservation, landscape design and implementation, and other environmental endeavors. She achieved many noteworthy accomplishments while working at JJR, The Nature Conservancy, University of Michigan, Huron River Watershed Council, and Friends of the Detroit River.

Andrea led a very active life; she was engaged in the community volunteering her expertise and had a great love of the outdoors. Her interests included gardening, kayaking, hiking, wilderness camping, knitting and traveling to distant places.
