Naudysmar Christie Borrero

Naudysmar Christie Borrero (Naudy) 23 of Othello, died unexpectedly Wednesday February 12, 2014 at the Kadlac Medical Center in Richland of complications from tumors of the adrenal system.

Naudy was born on August 31, 1990 in Barcelona, Anzoátegui, Venezuela to Naudys and Yolimar (Acevedo) Borrero. She moved with her family to Othello, Washington in 1998. She attended Othello High School and graduated in 2009.

Although Naudy was only 8 years old and spoke only Spanish when she arrived in Othello, by high school she had become the "all American girl"! She was active in the OHS Leadership Club and was a four year member of the tennis team. She was a cheerleader, a captain of the cheer squad, and helped organize and run the Othello Junior Cheer Camp for elementary school children. During her senior year she worked at Time Out Pizza. Naudy was attending Columbia Basin College, initially studying to be a Radiology Technologist, but recently changing her focus to business, a discipline to which she was naturally suited. She earned money for her education working at Vanity clothing store and the Sportsman's Warehouse where she was valued by her managers for her initiative, strong work ethic and natural leadership qualities.

Naudy was very energetic and loved outdoor activities. She enjoyed; tennis, snowboarding, boating/tubing, bike riding. Naudy also enjoyed reading and was always into a novel. (Her Kindle was rarely out of reach.) She enjoyed cooking and was legendary for producing meals from scratch. She possessed a smile that was genuine and absolutely radiant and her cheerfulness would pierce any gloom. Above all, Naudy was honest and forthright in all situations and relationships. A quality that gained her much respect from all who knew her.

Naudy is survived by three grandmothers, Dora Rivas and Ana Olivia Rincon of Othello and Geraldine Miller of Nez Perce, ID, her parents Denis and Yolimar Miller, father Naudys (Maria Guadalupe) Borrero, her brothers, José Borrero and Benjamin Miller and her sister Chayanne Miller all of Othello.
