Andrea ESPINOLA Obituary
was 25 years old when her bright light left this earth Sunday, Sept. 4, 2016. She now shines down from the heavens on those who deeply miss her. Andrea is survived by her beloved brother, Michael; her dedicated parents, Bobby and Gigi Espinola; her grandmothers, Georgia Payne and Betty Espinola; aunts, uncles, cousins, her many soul sisters and brothers, and precious furry pets, Rocco and Gucci.
Andrea was a sweet and adorable child who grew into a beautiful, strong, free-spirited woman. She had an unwavering strength of character. Anyone who knew her would never be the same. She was a peacemaker and lightmaker. Andrea was kind, loving, and gentle every single day she was on this earth. She was a lifelong defender of the defenseless, and a helper to the helpless.
Andrea will be remembered for many things, especially for her humor and integrity, her contagious smile and laugh, her devotion to family, friends, co-workers, and as a rescuer of people, pets and all of God's creatures. Tampa Catholic High School was a huge part of her life; she graduated in 2009.
She was very successful in her career as Director of Operations at Dealer Wizard.
Andrea is predeceased by her older brother, Robert Alexander Espinola, and her grandfathers, Diran M. Kaloostian and Emilio "Pete" Espinola.
The family will receive relatives and friends at St. Lawrence Catholic Church in Tampa at 10 am Monday, Sept. 12 Funeral Mass will follow at 11 am. Interment will immediately follow at Garden of Memories where she will be laid to rest beside her brother, Alex. In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to the Pet Pal Animal shelter of St. Petersburg in her honor.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I did not know her, but The loss that Arsine and Taniel feel have touched me to such a degree that I recognize how precious she was to all who knew her. May her life be a shining example for all and may her family know peace in God's time. Jane Pike, Palm Beach County

I only knew her briefly when I lived on Oakbrook Drive, but even the little I saw, she impressed me as kind and genuine and such a good person. I will be making a donation to Pet Pal in her honor. I am sorry for your loss....

Andrea ,
I met you when you were 8 years old and over the years when ever I saw you , you had a way to place a smile on my face. you had the warmest and kindest heart and such a wonderful and loving personality and your smile and soft spoken voice will always be in my memory.
you will never be gone to me . I place in my mind that you are a sleeping princess and one day you will awake as beautiful as you are and will always be my beautiful princess.
