Adriana Kaitlyn Dinh

Adriana Kaitlyn Dinh (Ngoc Anh), age 17, passed away on March 28, 2026, in Marietta, Georgia. Born on January 20, 2009, in Naperville, Illinois to Kiet and Janie Dinh, Adriana was a junior at Kennesaw Mountain High School and a dual enrollment student at Kennesaw State University. But beyond this, she was a loving daughter, sister, relative, and friend to many. Adriana led her life deliberately, chasing her goals with a strong conviction. She harbored an unfounded discipline that only allowed so much opportunity and life to come her way. Her immense drive and relentless nature allowed her to balance many spheres of life, prioritizing friends, family, and excelling in academics. As a leader deeply involved in her student government, Adriana devoted up to 300+ volunteer hours to her school and community. Adriana also played three sports: volleyball, cross country, and track and field. From a young age, she had a creative nature and love for doing hair and crafts. Indulging in the world of aesthetics, this passion matured into her dream of going to medical school and pursuing a career in dermatology with the goal of opening her own clinic. Adriana accepted only the best in life, challenging herself academically, physically, and spiritually. She took immense pride in caring for her body and health, yielding discipline well beyond her 17 years. Above all else, Adriana loved and accepted God, demonstrating a deep devotion to her faith and the kindest, most forgiving spirit. Though Adriana’s life was shorter than expected, she left a beautiful footprint and made the most of every opportunity and experience around her. She aspired to travel the world, and though there was still much more for her to see, the life Adriana led was remarkable and continued to serve as an inspiration to everyone around her. Adriana will live on through her loving parents, Kiet and Janie Dinh, and siblings, Aaron and Alyssa Dinh. Her sweet memory will forever influence and have a great impact on the lives of her family, friends, and community of teammates and faculty who all had the greatest gift of knowing Adriana and all of whom she loved deeply.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, April 9th, 2026, from 4pm to 9pm at Winkenhofer Pine Ridge Funeral Home and Memorial Park, 2950 Cobb Parkway NW Kennesaw, GA 30152.
