Tom and Doris Smeltzer are Andrea’s parents. Tom with a Master's Degree in Education and Doris with a Master's in Counseling Psychology are career educators—he at the elementary and community college level, she throughout the K-12 and adult education spectrum. Tom recently retired from his position as Professor at Napa Valley College in Northern California. He is now able to double his efforts in the world of eating disorder prevention.

When Andrea died, Doris chose to leave her classroom teaching assignment. For the next 10 years she worked as a Teacher on Special Assignment with the local school district training high school students on body image issues and eating disorder prevention. She now devotes 100% of her time to eating disorder prevention through Andrea's Voice Foundation.

She hosted the 14-week VoiceAmerica Radio Show, Savor Yourself...beyond skin deep and is in the process of creating a "Family & Friends Support Group Curriculum" video series. Doris also co-authored with Tom and two others Chapter 21 in the book, Treatment of Eating Disorders: Bridging the Research-Practice Gap, Edited by: Maine, Bunnell, & McGilley (Academic Press, 2010).
