ANDREA ESMERALDA LOPEZ ORELLANA

May 13, 1999 - May 18, 2022

With heavy hearts, we announce that Drea Lopez passed away on May 18, 2022 in HSC's Leukemia ward with her mother and partner at her side at the tender age of 23 years.

 

She leaves to celebrate her memory: her partner Eric; siblings, Cecilia (Scott) and Alberto; mother Mirna; cat Franklyn; and many friends and family.

For anyone that was blessed to know Drea, they know just how fun and bubbly she was. Never one to be the center of attention at a party, she worked her magic one-on-one. She was a kind soul that was easy to talk to, which came in handy at her job as a hairstylist.
 

She was a lover of all things unique. A lover of art, sweets, video games, anime, and cute things. She loved playing games and had a competitive streak, though she was never a sore winner or easy  loser. She just liked having fun. Family time with the siblings was always important. She was fiercely loyal to those that she loved.

She had an innocent soul, and a laugh that could light up a room. A strong woman who was still discovering just how strong she was out of her shell.


Her family would like to thank the nurses and staff in the HSC's GD6 wing. She got to know a lot of you very well. Thank you for helping her through that difficult time in her life.
 

In accordance with their wishes, cremation has taken place and a small private celebration of life will be held.

In the meantime, Drea's family kindly requests that all of her friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour her memory by watching the photo-biography above. Please, also consider sharing your own photos, memories, and stories by making use of the comment section on this page.


“When your shift is nearly done, and your feet so very sore, listen carefully to your 'thoughtful' little hairdresser angel, and you will surely hear it say 'Keep smiling, the end of the day is almost here!'”

You will forever live on in our hearts Drea.

I knew Drea only through the love her mother had for her, so I know what a wonderful and beautiful soul she was. My condolences to all who loved her.

Drea taught me how to be strong, she was always there for me when I needed someone to talk to about anything. I am so thankful for the last day we had together and how we could laugh and talk like everything was back to normal. I’ll always love her to pieces, and cherish the memories we have together in the times I miss her most. Te quiero muchissimo amiga! -Abbe

Don and I would like to say how much we loved and enjoyed having Drea as part of our family.  Drea was always a pleasure to be around, always willing to help if needed.  She did love her games and taught us a few new ones over the years.  Family time always involved a game or two, as well as much laughter.  Last weekend, we had the pleasure of meeting many of her extended family, we wish the circumstances had been different.  Everyone was so nice and we could see how much she meant to everyone who was there.  Drea will be greatly missed by many people, our family included.  Our condolences to everyone who will be affected by the loss of Drea.  RIP dear Drea, till we meet again.  Love Patricia and Don McBride❤❤❤
