Kenna Breinholt Obituary

Kenna Breinholt

1964 - 2024

- January 29, 1964 - March 2, 2024

Kenna K. (Massett) Breinholt, born on January 29, 1964, passed away on March 2, 2024. Kenna grew up in the Millcreek area and attended Granite High School, where she formed lifelong friendships.

Following college, Kenna embarked on a fulfilling career as a Registered Medical Assistant, dedicating many years of service to institutions such as Granger Medical, Night-Time Pediatrics, Ellis Shipp Public Health Center, and Intermountain Nurse Midwives.

Kenna and her husband Daron made a home in West Valley, where they raised their 3 boys, Justin, Joshua, and Jesse, over the last 34 years - all while navigating the daily challenges of sharing just one bathroom.

To most who knew her, Kenna was simply known as "Mom." She was the embodiment of a mother, extending her nurturing care not only to her children but also to anyone who crossed her path. Her capacity for caring and empathy resonated deeply with countless individuals, who sought comfort and guidance in her compassionate presence.

Kenna had a passion for collecting various items, including teaspoons from around the world, coins, cups and saucers. However, her most cherished treasures were her children and grandchildren, whom she adored beyond measure.

A compassionate soul, Kenna was a constant source of support and comfort to those in need. Whether it was lending a listening ear in the wee hours of the night or offering practical assistance, she never hesitated to extend a helping hand.

Over the years Kenna found joy in simple pleasures such as camping, bowling, and visits to Wendover with her gambling partner Daron. Her greatest moments of happiness came from spending quality time with loved ones and creating lasting memories.

Kenna's unwavering commitment to her friends and loved ones will be deeply missed. While her passing leaves a profound void in our lives, her legacy of love and compassion will endure in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know her.

Kenna was preceded in death by her parents. She is survived by her beloved husband, Daron, her three sons, three adored grandchildren, brother, and the numerous others who regarded her as mom.

We invite friends and loved ones to join us in honoring Kenna's remarkable life. A viewing will be held on Monday, March 11th, 2024 from 6-8 pm at the Jenkins-Soffe 4760 South State Street, Murray UT. Funeral Services will be held on Tuesday, March 12th, 2024 at 11 am at Jenkins-Soffe 4760 South State Street, Murray UT with a viewing that same morning from 10-10:45 am. Following the funeral, a graveside service will be held at Elysian Burial Gardens, located at 1075 East 4580 South, Millcreek, UT.

I'm so sorry to hear of her passing. I have alot of great memories of her. She really was a person that I loved. I feel a part of me has died! It's been a few years since I seen her last.
