Andrea "Annie" Michelle Cochran 41, of Franklin North Carolina, entered into the gates of Heaven on Friday, October 04,2024 at an Asheville hospital, after a prolonged Illness. She now sits at the foot of the throne of Jesus Christ,her Savior. We are sure she was greeted by all those that went before her.

Andrea, who was lovingly called Annie by her family was born on July 03,1983 and was a lifelong resident of the Burningtown Community. She enjoyed listening to music, fishing, cooking, and spending time with family. Andrea had a tenacious spirit that sustained her to the very end. She had a heart of gold that carried her through this life and into the next. To know Andrea was to love her. She never met a stranger and her kindness and willingness to help anyone in need showed in everything she did. No matter what she herself was going through she was quick to give to someone in need. Andrea loved to talk and had a real knack for telling a story at family gatherings. Annie had a smile that lit up her face, and a smile that echoed through a room. She knew the importance of making people feel special and found true value in the people in her life. She was most definitely a daddy's girl, and her mama's entire world.

Andrea was a homemaker but had worked previously as a waitress at various local restaurants. Andrea grew up attending Mt. Sinai Assembly of God, and later became a member of Mt. Harmony Baptist Church. Annie struggled with her faith and often admitted that she wasn't perfect, however, she made her peace with God on a daily basis.

Annie was preceded in death by her paternal grandmother "Mamaw" Ollie Pendergrass Cochran, and her maternal grandmother "Granny" Mary Lee Moses. Andrea is survived by her loving and devoted parents Tommy and Pat Cochran of Franklin. One brother Rev. Darian Cochran (Jessica) and one sister Stephanie Cochran (Dale) all of franklin also survive. She leaves behind one son Asher Cochran of the home; he was the true love of her life. There was nothing she cherished more than being her little man's mommy. She also leaves behind six nephews, two nieces, one great-niece, and many uncles, aunts and cousins all of whom loved her dearly.

Funeral services will be Tuesday, October 08,2024 at 6pm in the Chapel of Macon Funeral Home. Reverend Johnny Raby, Reverend Brandon Breedlove, and Reverend Darian Cochran will officiate. Family will receive friends 2 hours prior to service. Honorary pallbearers will be David Mashburn, Preston Mashburn, Colton Cochran, Camden Cochran, Kyler Cochran, Matthew Storer, Donnie Moses, Ricky Moses, and David Moses. No graveside service.

In lieu of flowers the family requests that donations be made to Asher's educational fund,and that you perform one random act of kindness in Andrea's name ensuring that her legacy of kindness lives on in others. She will leave a void in the hearts of those who loved her. Rest easy sweet girl. We will see you again.
