Obituary for Kendall Cristine Braswell
Kendall Cristine Braswell
August 17, 1973-January 17, 2022
Born in Oak Harbor, WA, Kendall graduated from Oak Harbor High School where she participated in Cross Country Running, continuing until she graduated from Central Washington University.
She worked in Bellevue for a few years for a prominent home builder as their interior designer. Kendall moved back to Oak Harbor when her son Brendan was born. She then began her career in banking at Pacific Northwest Bank. She later began employment with Banner Bank where she served as Vice President, Mortgage QA Manager. She would have celebrated her 16th year one day after
losing her battle with breast cancer.
Kendall's greatest joy came from serving as Treasurer for the Oak Harbor Church of the Nazarene. Here she found comfort and purpose. She loved her church family. Kendall's steady and unwavering faith in the Lord is what carried her through. We know she is now pain and worry free, resting in the presence of Jesus Christ, our Savior.
Kendall is survived by the following: Beloved Son, Brendan Braswell, parents Kevin and Wanda Hofkamp, Father, Philip Daniels, Sisters, Shawna Daniels, Cinda Gangl, Mary Corella, and brother, Jesse Corella. She also leaves behind many extended family members that loved her and will miss her presence for
time to come.
God brings the most amazing people into the world to teach us lessons. Kendall taught us how to love quietly, how to be kind, be generous, and in general, be a good person. It is in those lessons now we should change our lives to be like her. We can't explain why, or what we perceive as unfairness. We cannot, and I wish we could, as we face our own list of those questions in our lives. But we must take the lessons God has put in front of us and learn to change. It is hard to see all of this right now with the shroud of sadness, and maybe anger, but it will come.
Rest easy, sweet angel.
Therefore, we do not lose heart
Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet
inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
For our light and momentary troubles are
achieving for us an eternal glory
that far outweighs them all.
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen,
but what is unseen, since what is seen is
temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
