Obituary for Andrea Kathleen (Clements) Tice

Andrea Kathleen Tice, 45, of Rexburg, passed away peacefully on September 13, 2023, surrounded by her family at her home.

Andrea was born on May 29, 1978 in Pomona, California, to Orlene Vern Clements Jr. and Andrea Kay Lewis Clements. She grew up and attended schools in Twin Falls, Idaho, graduating from Twin Falls High School. She attended CSI and earned her associate’s degree in natural sciences in 1998, ISU earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in chemistry in 2001, and BYU-I earned her bachelor’s degree in occupational safety and health in 2019. She was very proud to have received several scholarships Study and graduate debt-free every time. She was a member of the Lambda Delta Sigma Alumni Club, the NHS, and the AM Chemistry Society.

On January 4, 2001, she married Nathaniel Merle Leroy Tice in Taylorsville, Utah. They later divorced. Andrea has taught at Valencia College in Orlando, Florida, and at BYU-Idaho in Rexburg, Idaho.

She was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She enjoyed social dancing and supporting her children at the Idaho Dance Academy. I loved playing the cello with the Magic Valley Symphony and local companies playing in orchestras. She played the piano and organ, loved to sing, loved gardening and food preservation, and especially loved sharing her knowledge with those who asked and wanted to learn, and becoming a mother was her greatest continuing accomplishment.
