"Andrea developed a genuine love for the planet and devoted herself to making a major impact in the preservation," the obituary reads. The university offered its condolences and praised Norton as a stellar student in a post on Facebook"Andrea was a passionate environmental science major, exemplary student and dedicated athlete. She lived BCU's values in everything she did from the classroom to the court and everywhere she went," the university said.
