Tiffany was born on November 14, 1978, in Hutchinson, Kansas, and was the oldest of three children born to Jim & Susan LeDuc. Tiffany grew up in Clyde, Kansas, and graduated from Clifton-Clyde High School in the Class of 1997. While in Jr. High and High School, she participated in Track and Field, setting several school records and winning the State Track Meet with her Relay Teams all four years of High School. Tiffany then attended Hastings College in Hastings, Neb., on a Track Scholarship, graduating in 2001. After college, she and her sister moved to Lenexa, Kan., to begin her career. It was at work where she met her husband, Jason Andrewjeski. The two began dating and were married on April 8, 2003, in Steamboat Springs, Colo. Together they made their home in Bonner Springs where they raised three sons. Tiffany worked as a Sales Manager and Store Manager for Verizon Wireless and later sold Boutique Jewelry during her illness. Tiffany loved to watch sports including the Kansas City Chiefs and the K-State Wildcats, but she absolutely loved watching her sons play sports. She drove countless miles taking them to their various sporting events and loved every second of it.
Tiffany was diagnosed with ALS in 2015. During her courageous battle, she participated in several drug trials and other procedures with the hope to prolong her life and time she had with her family and friends. Tiffany was a strong advocate for ALS. She was optimistic, a courageous fighter and an inspiration to so many people. Joining her in her fight was a very special group of friends and family known as Tiffany’s Crusaders. Tiffany’s Crusaders were a tremendous support for her.
