In Loving Memory of Kendal Michelle Halls
May 17, 1987 – May 23, 2025
With deep love and sorrow, we celebrate the beautiful life of Kendal Michelle Halls, who passed away on May 23, 2025. Though her time with us was far too short, Kendal’s radiant spirit, boundless kindness, and infectious laughter will continue to echo in the hearts of all who knew her.
Born on May 17, 1987, Kendal was the beloved daughter of Kay Vail (Steve Vail) and Peter Halls (Jill Halls). She was a cherished sister to Mark, Gina, and Joshua, and a caring step-sister to Sherese, Bethany, Nicholas, and Matthew, as well as to Ryan and Zachary, both of whom preceded her in death. Her greatest joy came from being lovingly known as Doe Doe to her treasured nieces and nephews: Zion, Tae'lyn, Micah, Kenneth, Sophia, Madison, Ava, and Eliana.
Kendal worked as a dedicated pharmacy technician at both Sutter Coast Hospital and CVS, where she was known not just for her precision and professionalism, but for her warmth, her smile, and the way she made everyone feel like a friend. She truly never met a stranger. Her heart was wide open, and her light drew people in.
Those who knew Kendal will remember her as a bright soul, full of compassion and good humor. Whether through a kind word, a warm hug, or her ability to light up a room, she touched lives in small and meaningful ways every single day.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, June 21st at 1:00 PM at First Baptist Church, where stories, memories, and love will be shared in the way Kendal would have wanted, surrounded by the people who meant the world to her.
In honor of Kendal’s fun-loving spirit, please wear Disney, Star Wars, or Dinosaur-themed items to the celebration.She would have loved that.
A potluck will follow the service, and all are welcome to join in fellowship, food, and shared memories.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you share a memory, offer a hug, or extend a kindness in Kendal’s name. That’s how she lived and how she would want to be remembered.
