A dara Bunn was a joy to be around.
A golden girl, the 17-year-old was a straight-A student and beloved by all her friends and family.
Raised by her mum Cassandra and stepdad Gary, in Sheldon, Illinois, Adara was looking towards the future.
Heading into her senior year at Milford High School, she was dreaming of becoming a veterinarian.
And her extracurricular activities were good, too.
Adara – known lovingly as Sissy by her loved ones – was an avid reader and loved going fishing at the weekend, too.
She was also a member of the Goodland Community Church in Indiana.
But Sissy’s interests didn’t end there.
