Her compassion for all creatures—whether dogs, cats, birds, hermit crabs, or even snakes—was evident from an early age. As a teenager, she devoted countless hours volunteering at local animal shelters, driven by an unwavering commitment to animal welfare.

Kendall graduated third in her high school class and went on to attend the University of Arizona, where she pursued her dream of becoming a scientist. While in college, she continued her dedication to animals by working at a veterinary office, balancing her academic responsibilities with her enduring passion.

Kendall touched the lives of many with her kindness, intelligence, and generosity. Her memory will be cherished by all who knew her.

She is lovingly remembered by her parents, Bart and Sara Cook; her brothers, Michael Hofflinger and Seth Cook; and by many friends and extended family members.
