Adrianna Rene was born at 8:44pm Wednesday, November 15, 2006. She was six pounds and nineteen inches; she was absolutely perfect. Adrianna was affectionately known as Peanut, which stuck with her throughout her life. She grew up in both Nora Springs, IA and Rochester, MN. Adrianna enjoyed many different activities. She liked to play her flute, sing, sew, cook, run for track, and play card games (especially Sorry). Swimming was her favorite thing to do and if she could’ve grown gills and lived in the water she would’ve.
From the beginning Adrianna was a free spirit; she was determined to love fiercely and have fun while she was doing so. Even before the age of five she wanted to ride motorcycles, but knew the phrase “can’t ride till your five” and that kept her safe on the roads. Adrianna was an animal lover and always had a special place in her heart for cats, unicorns and pandas. She was a proud supporter of the LGBTQ+ Community. Adrianna’s love wasn’t only fierce, but it was real. Her greatest wish was for everyone to love each other.
In such a tragic loss the family is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of others, particularly in the realm of mental health. They hope to raise awareness, provide support, and break down barriers, asking those in the community to offer assistance and empathy to those in need. Their hope is to see a world where mental health is prioritized and valued.
Those left to tell Adrianna’s story, are her parents: father, Paul Tesdahl of Rochester, MN; mother, Ann Bryant of Nora Springs, IA; stepmother, Missy Cottrell; siblings, Cristina Vega, Kylissa Tesdahl, and Jarod Gasper; paternal grandmother, Darlene Tresdahl; maternal grandmother, Phyllis King; grandmother, Carry Dinesmore; feline companion, Percy; as well as aunts, uncles, numerous cousins, extended family and friends.
Adrianna is preceded in death by her paternal grandfather, Clifford Tesdahl Jr.; and paternal uncle, John Tesdahl.
