Adriana was born on December 17, 1944 in San Lorenzo Italy to Severino and Beatrice Bertoia. She was the baby of the family. When she was five years old she came across on the boat and turned six before she arrived in Canada. Her family settled in Michel/Natal until they moved to Cranbrook. Adriana attended college in Lethbridge and when she returned to Cranbrook for work she met Dennis Laine in 1965. She married him in 1966. They welcomed Debbie into their family in 1972 and David in 1974. They moved from Cranbrook, to Golden, and then to Invermere, making many friends along the way. Adriana was a part of the Kinettes and Eastern Star. She worked with the Ministry of Highways for many years before she joined Dennis working alongside him in his accounting practice. When he sold his practice she opened Lakeview Daycare in Invermere and loved every child that went through her doors, many of them still being a part of the family.

She is survived by her brothers Louie and Fonso Bertoia, her sister Itala Marchi, her son David, her daughter Debbie Twomey, son-in-law Christian, and granddaughters Grace and April.
