From Eaton Funeral Home:

Adrienne Blair Garrido, 17, of Needham, passed away Feb. 11, 2018, following a fatal injury in a traffic crash. In response to "Who am I?" posed in a class, she replied: "I am a hardworking student with an optimistic view on life who is half white, half Latina, a cross country and track runner, a friend, a daughter, and a sister." Adrienne was a sweet, thoughtful girl, full of life and light; she touched the lives of everyone she met.

Compassionate friend, National Honor Society student, and cross-country co-captain, Adrienne was the adored daughter of Blair Manning-Garrido and Pedro Garrido of Needham, and a loving sister to Gabe. Beloved niece of Joan Hagan, Allison Manning, Jane Fraze, Cristiana (who predeceased her), Eusebio Garrido, Alma Bobadilla, Eugenio Garrido, and Flor Montes de Moca. Cherished cousin to Blair, Jack, Eleanor, Tommy, Charlotte, Erin, Alan, Michelle, Cristiana, Margarita, Gabriela, Danon, Eugenio, Eusebio Jose, Alma Natalia, and Alma Luisa.

Adrienne will live forever in our hearts. Her Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Feb. 17 at 10 a.m. at St. Joseph's Church. 1360 Highland Ave., Needham. A Celebration of Life will follow at the First Parish Church in Needham at 23 Dedham Ave. in Needham. Interment will be private.
