A loving daughter, sister, loyal and caring friend, Andie was intelligent, academically driven and athletically inclined.

Other awards and honors include Academic All-District, she was an officer in Spanish Honor Society, in the Gifted and Talented Program, Vice President of the National Jr. Honor Society, a Star Student, in Rachels Challenge, and on the Wylie High School "A" Honor Roll every six weeks. A special honor was her selection and participation as an ambassador in the Hugh OBrian Youth Leadership Conference this summer.
Andie demonstrated great skill, hard work, and determination on and off the field. She was a fierce competitor and constant source of support for all of her family, friends and teammates at Wylie High School and Sting Royal 97. She played to win. She was a member of the Wylie Pirate Varsity Soccer Team both freshman and sophomore years. She received All-District honors both years. She played for the Sting Organization for six years.
Andie always strived for perfection. She set goals and attained them. She was both ambitious and a "little bit" stubborn. As well as having fun she loved having her nails painted and shopping with her mom. She was beautiful and always had that smile. Andie will be greatly missed by all. Her parents would like to thank everyone for their outpouring of love and affection at this time of their loss. All of the administrators, aides, teachers, and staff at Wylie High School, Andies soccer teams, coaches and their parents, the team members, coaches and parents from the many sports teams Andie played on in her youth and all the neighbors, friends and family members have been amazing in their support. They would like to especially express gratitude for the friendship, love and support that Jennifer Hiddink shared with Andie as her best friend; and we are grateful for the care and love of Jacquie Hiddink, her children and Debbie Reinhardt-Young. This cannot be done alone.
