Kendra Cooper Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Basham Funeral Care - Bakersfield on Jan. 19, 2026.
In Loving Memory of Kendra Nicole Cooper
June 12, 2020 – January 13, 2026
Kendra Nicole Cooper, our precious 5-year-old child was a true gift from God, unexpectedly passed away leaving behind a world forever changed by her beautiful spirit and bright smile.
Kendra found happiness in the simple magic of childhood. She adored Gabby's Dollhouse and could often be found singing along as she played with her favorite dolls. One of her greatest joys was playing "Target lady," carefully scanning items and cheerfully checking out her make-believe customers with a smile that lit up the room. She also loved adventures, especially visits to the Great Wolf Lodge indoor water park, where her laughter echoed as freely as her joy and Disneyland, where the magic and wonder matched her joyful spirit. These moments, filled with imagination and wonder, will forever live in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
She especially enjoyed her themed birthday parties, and all the fun that came with celebrating life's happiest moments. Her favorite color was purple, a reflection of her vibrant personality.
Kendra enjoyed attending Rosedale North Elementary, where she loved learning, spending time with her teacher, and laughing with her friends.
While our hearts ache in her absence, we find comfort knowing she is now safely in the loving arms of Jesus, where there is no pain-only peace, joy, and everlasting love.
Kendra will forever be treasured by her parents, Sara Holmes and Michael Cooper; her beloved sister, Kendyll Cooper; grandparents; aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
Until we meet again, we trust God's promise of eternal life.
Forever loved. Forever Five. To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Kendra, please visit our floral store.

We are so glad that we were able to meet Kendra. Jaxon played with her and will miss her. She is just the sweetest. We pray for you and your family and pray for you all to be surrounded by love during this time.
