Mckenna “Kenna” P. Kirk

Mckenna “Kenna” P. Kirk born October 10, 1997 passed away at her home in Hitchcock, TX November 16, 2019. She was a graduate of Santa Fe High School in 2016 and obtained her Certified Nursing Assistant license the same year. She was a proud “stay at home mom” and found fulfilment in caring for the elderly. She was looking forward to pursuing a career in nursing in the upcoming year. She was a natural born nurturer and she always loved to dance and cheer – she was a cheerleader for everyone who knew her. McKenna was outgoing, her laughter was contagious, and she lit up the room when she walked in. McKenna knew how to connect with people, was kind, genuine and always made time for others. She had a talent for fashion and was best dressed at any event. Mckenna was a devoted partner to her childhood sweetheart Blake Moody and exceptional mother to their son Bentlee Alan Moody.

She is preceded in death by her grandmother Shirley Gennusa, grandfather William Kirk and sister Kaley Kirk. Survived by her partner, Blake Moody; son, Bentlee Alan Moody; mother, Lindy Gennusa; father, Mark Kirk; sisters, Madison Kirk and Kendyl Kirk; brothers, Jaxson Hicks, Gatlin Kirk, Jacob Jaeger and Jansen Jaeger; stepmother, Julie Beauchamp; grandparents Gail “Mimi” Kirk-Koons, Ron Koons, Paul “Paw Paw” Gennusa, and Jan “Granny” Gennusa; cousins, Kagen Rose and Koral Rose; Aunt and Uncles Kara and Kevin Rose, Paul Gennusa, Stephen Kirk, and Kenneth Kirk; Tammi and Paul Hensley; Chris and Jennifer Moody; best friend Jamie Burns-Johnson and many other dear friends, family and loved ones.

McKenna’s visitation is scheduled from 11:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m. and funeral services from 12:30 p.m.-1:30 p.m. on Wednesday November 20, 2019 at James Crowder Funeral Home in Dickinson, TX; Interment to follow at Mt Olivet Cemetery in Dickinson, TX. Deacon Alvin Lovelady will officiate. In lieu of flowers, memorials in honor of McKenna can be made to the Alzheimer’s Association at 8180 Greensboro Drive, Suite 400 McLean, VA 22102.

  3. I had the pleasure of getting to know Kenna when I hired her at Kate Spade New York. From the moment I met her she exuded confidence, intelligence , a sense of humor that I simply adored & of course a beauty that shined both inside and out. It was an easy decision to keep in touch and I loved how she was celebrating her life as a mom. I am deeply saddened to hear that such an amazing young woman has passed & I send my condolences to all that loved her. Rest in Heaven Kenna- you will be missed.

  27. I was reminded by my youngest daughter and youngest son that I knew her. She spent a few nights at our house splashing in the pool and eating BBQ while they were all in junior high. Both of my children spoke very well of her. I have to say I don’t remember.

  32. We were never close in school. But when we did talk to each other, you were always so sweet to me. You had an aura everybody loved. You treated everyone equally. I appreciate the fact that you didn’t treat anyone as if they were below you. And even though you’re gone, I do believe you probably saved someone with your kindness and inclusion. You will be missed but never ever forgotten, Kenna. I wish I could have gotten to know you better. I think we could’ve been good friends. I’m praying for your friends and family. And I pray your soul is at peace.

    Much love, Lexi. ❤️

  36. My prayers are with y’all. Mckenna was one of my first students at Santa Fe High School and I had her again as a junior. She always came to class with a smile on her face. Senior year, Mckenna would stop by at lunch to talk and hang out with friends. Mckenna was a great student and even better person. She will be missed.

  40. I didn’t know Kenna recently but I knew her when she was in elementary school. I worked in the cafeteria and I always remembered her sweet smile and how polite she always was. When I heard she had passed I remembered her name and face immediately and my heart was breaking for her family and friends. I know nothing can take away the pain you all are feeling. 🙁 I wish there was something I could do or say to help. My thoughts and prayers will continue for McKenna and her family.
