Indeed this is a tricky one...well, I think the only thing I'm coming up with is...
is it Finduilas of Dol Amroth? Denethor's wife and the mother of Boromir and Faramir. The nobles in Dol Amroth had elvish blood but were mortal, and Finduilas died at a fairly young age.

Andreth indeed was a mortal, but I recall seeing her more elaborated on in the Shibboleth of Feanor. Now that's a good read. But no it's not Andreth.
It's not Finduilas of Dol Amroth.
Here's another hint: dispute

Not tar-ancalime
Yes elvheimdros, it is Fíriel. Fíriel in quenya means mortal maid or mortal woman.
Fíriel is an important character in middle earth because she was the daughter of Ondoher, the king of Gondor wife of Arvedui. When Ondoher and his male offspring all died in the wain-rider wars as elaborated on in the Unfinished Tales, Arvedui, king of Arnor, pressed his disputed claim to the throne of Gondor as Fíriel was his wife. Gondor rejected this attempt at a reunited empire, handing to throne to Earnil.
Aragorn would be a descendant of hers and without the Anárion bloodline from Fíriel, Aragorn would not have the blood to be a proper claimant to the Gondorian throne.
Floor is yours Elvheimdros
