Kendall Elizabeth Garzini

Kendall Elizabeth Garzini, age 22, departed this life on May 28, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, compassion, and unwavering love for her family, friends, and beloved dog, Bailey Dexter.

Born on January 21, 2004, Kendall was the cherished daughter of Christie Garzini and Craig Garzini. She was a devoted sister to Alyssa McCutchan (Nicholas) and a proud aunt to her niece, Presley McCutchan, and nephew, Colter McCutchan, who brought immense joy to her life.

Kendall was deeply loved by her grandparents, David and Lie Cloninger, Tony and Judy Patierno, and Maurice Garzini. She is also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and others who loved her like family. She treasured the time spent with her family and created countless memories that will be forever held close by those who knew and loved her.

A dedicated student with a passion for helping others, Kendall graduated from Liberty University in 2026 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. She had recently been accepted into Regent University's PsyD program and was eagerly preparing to pursue her dream of earning a Doctor of Psychology degree. Her desire to serve others through the field of psychology reflected her compassionate heart and genuine concern for those around her.

Kendall found happiness in life's simple joys. She was a loving dog mom to Bailey Dexter, who was her constant companion and faithful friend. She was also a devoted Disney enthusiast whose love for Disney brought magic, wonder, and excitement into her life. Her bright smile, old soul, and caring nature touched everyone fortunate enough to know her.

Though her time with us was far too short, Kendall's impact will be felt for generations. She will be remembered for her intelligence, determination, generosity, and the deep love she shared with her family and friends.

The family asks that those who knew and loved Kendall remember her by sharing kindness with others, pursuing their dreams with determination, and embracing the people and passions that bring joy to life.
