Debbie Dingell called Ms. Andrews a “Downriver fixture” and lamented her passing. The Dearborn Congresswoman is one of many leaders, journalists and residents paying tribute to Andrews, a renowned journalist who went on to work for the late U. S. Rep. John Dingell. In her work and in her personal life, Andrews made it her mission to help people. She graduated from Melvindale High School and Central Michigan University. She taught in Vassar, married the late Ronald Pat Andrews with News-Herald staff members and Santa Claus.

She wonders how many families have adopted the cheese ball as a “must” at their holiday feasts. Goscinski’s sister, Caryn Cable, also of Wyandotte, inherited the role of cheese ball maker when Bud died in 2008. She ensures that it takes its rightful place amid the appetizers, meatballs and the Jello salad offered buffet-style at Goscinski’s home when she hosts the Renaud Christmas event. “Since our entire family looks forward to it and enjoys it so much, I just continue to make it each year,” Cable said. “It’s in honor and remem- brance of my dad each Christmas.” The cheese ball is more than a creamy spread on a cracker. “There’s always the cheese ball at the parties,” Goscinski said, “so Dad always shows up.” She believes Bud would be honored to share the recipe with a larger audience. “His famous cheese ball is his legacy,” she said. “Dad would be very proud.”

For months, they stored the 10-cent containers one by one wherever they could find space – in their garages, under the Woelkers deck at home and in a large storage area donated by Biddle Bowl business neighbor Bentley Banquet Center.
