Kindrea Dawn Jenkins

Kindrea Dawn Jenkins (Vance), age 46, of Kirtland, Ohio, passed away on April 6, 2026. She was born on December 3, 1979 in Chardon, Ohio.

She is survived by her son, Jacob Jenkins; her parents, Linda and Larry Jenkins; her sister, Laura (David) Janus; her niece, Bryanna Evan; her nephew, John David Janus; her grandmother, Gloria Miles; her best friend, Richard Thomas; as well as many extended family members and friends . 

Kindrea was incredibly smart and beautiful. She could always make things feel exciting, like something interesting was always just around the corner. She had a way about her that drew people in. If you knew her, you know she had a big personality. She didn't do anything halfway, she lived out loud. She was always up for a good time, no matter what kind of trouble that might lead to. That was just who she was bold, spontaneous, and impossible to ignore. She had a heart of gold and was full of love. 

She moved through the world like a breeze no one could quite catch-felt deeply, remembered fondly, but never held for long. Forever loved and never forgotten. 

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
