Andrea (Dowd) Durant, 52 of Marlborough, passed away on March 15, 2026 after a hard fought battle with end stage kidney disease.
 

She married Jamie Durant in April 2003 — it was a buy one, get two free deal. The family filled their home with love and laughter (and some sarcasm, too).
 

Andrea fiercely loved her 4 children (Rachael, Jarrett, Julianna and Cameron) and was endlessly proud of each. Whether scooping slushies at the softball field, boasting of their academic achievements or rescuing them in the middle of the night when their car broke down, Andrea was a fixture in the major and minor moments of her kids’ lives.
 

She loved the beach, a good rom-com or book, Bon Jovi and challenging puzzles. Andrea was stubborn, protective and passionate. No challenge was too great to overcome. She treasured the adventures with her family, often describing them as only something that could happen to the Durants.
 

The family would like to thank Andrea’s dialysis nurse Jenn for her support over the last few years.
