Obituary

Beloved daughter and sister, Kenna Tyler Anderson, 31, passed away peacefully with her mother and father by her bedside on 26 August 2023, in Daytona Beach, Florida. Born on 11 November 1991, Kenna was active in sports as a club and high school swimmer, a dancer, and a skier. A 2010 graduate of Cherokee Trail High School in Aurora, CO, Kenna was also on the POM squad. Of all her activities, her passion was dancing. Kenna was a bright and shining light in the lives of those who knew her. She had a unique gift for making anyone laugh with her goofy nature. Kenna loved deeply, and enjoyed movies, Legos and Harry Potter, which brought her joy and sparked her imagination. She adored her nieces and nephews and cherished the time she spent with them. A dance teacher, lifeguard and swim lesson instructor, Kenna also had a compassionate heart for helping children in need. She is survived by her parents, Ron and Jeanne Anderson of Daytona Beach Shores, FL; sisters, Megan Schmid, of Bailey, CO and Kristan Whitfield and husband Steve Whitfield of Pine, CO: and her brother James Fineman, of Coos Bay, OR; and three nieces and three nephews, of whom she loves and was especially fond of. Her kind spirit will be greatly missed. A service to celebrate Kenna’s life will be held at 2pm on 23 September 2023, at Three Trees Chapel, at 13416 W Arbor Pl, Littleton, CO 80127. https://www.threetreeschapel.com In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to Children’s Hospital in honor of Kenna’s passions and values.

    Ms. Kenna was a very special young lady to me and my family. We felt very blessed to have her in our lives for the period of time that we did. She was definitely an inspiration with a very kind heart. We will miss her very much. I have great comfort knowing she is in heaven looking down at us in peace. She is now the True Angel she always was. God bless your family and may he bring you comfort in this time.

    I remember when you and Kenna came to Penacook to visit, Kenna must have been around 12 years old. We had such a great time at Polar Caves! Kenna was open to any adventure we did. I remember her as being bright and funny with many plans for the future, I hope she accomplished many of them. My heart goes out to all the family, each one of you will deal with this loss for a lifetime. Hold her close and she will not be far away.

    Love to all of you,
    Aunt Mary Ellen

    We can only hope that you have peace in your heart one day. The loss of a child is a very hard to except and you ask yourself why! We don’t know those answers. We just know that she’s in the arms of angels looking down on her friends and family, who she dearly loved and feels so very sad she had to leave them all ! With the deepest sympathy to your family
