Adrianna Nicole Castro 'Sissy'
BUHL - Adrianna Nicole Castro, 19, of Buhl beloved daughter and sister, passed away suddenly Thursday, June 14, 2007, due to an allergic reaction to medication.
Adrianna was born June 3, 1988, in Twin Falls, Idaho, to Cynthia Castro Owsley.
She grew up in Twin Falls and attended Twin Falls schools. She graduated in 2006 and was planning on attending the College of Southern Idaho this fall.
Adrianna was a wonderful child and grew up to be a delightful woman. She collected turtles, movies, and always had her nose in a book. She had a knack for solving puzzles, fixing things, baking and crocheting.
She loved writing poems, short stories, and had been working on a novel for the past three years. She had big dreams of being an English major and later teaching college, all of course while writing.
Adrianna loved spending time with her family. She enjoyed reading to and playing with her little brother and sisters. She liked going on road trips, picnics, and was usually up for anything.
Adrianna was the world to her mother. They spent a lot of time together going to movies, playing games at home, laughing hysterically together, and just the quiet times talking meant so much.
She also had a special fondness for her Uncle Randall and Aunt Misty. Those closest to her, knew the depth of her heart. She was a caring, sympathetic person. She had affection for animals, especially sea turtles, the ocean, Africa, and was always a friend to anyone. Adrianna's infectious laugh, wonderful sense of humor, beautiful smile and big brown eyes will never be forgotten ... and will be terribly missed.
Adrianna is survived by her mother, Cynthia Castro Owsley; her brother, Justin, and sisters, Kassidy and Rileigh; her uncle Randall (Misti) Barnes, and uncle, Willie (Brandi) Barnes of Twin Falls; grandparents, Dee Barnes of Buhl and Keith (Judy) Barnes of Castleford; grandfather, Bob Castro of Twin Falls; grandparents, Jay and Jean Andersen of Arco; aunt, Lee (Bud) Randall of Castleford; cousin, Carina Latham of Twin Falls; and best friends, Hannah and Danielle. She also had numerous little cousins. She was preceded in death by great-grandparents, William and Sally Bosworth, and a cousin.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to be made in Adrianna's name to the Buhl Quick Response Unit.
The funeral will be at 11 a.m. Tuesday, June 19, at Lighthouse Community Fellowship Church, 259 Main Ave. in Twin Falls. No public viewing will be held. Arrangements are under the direction of Farmer Funeral Chapel in Buhl.
