Kennie Stern Obituary

Publish in a newspaper

Kennie Lynn Stuckey Stern ("Kiki"), of Dallas, Texas, passed away on November 15, 2025, at the age of 73.
Kennie was loving, funny, and incredibly nurturing. Her laugh was one of those rare ones you don't forget - warm, full, and able to lift your whole day. She always found a way to make people feel welcome. Kennie was more interested in loving people than being right.
Her passions included voracious reading, the 2023 World Series champions - the Texas Rangers, Texas and its history, but above all she loved her family.
Her faith in Jesus shaped the way she lived: with generosity, kindness, and a love everyone always felt. She absolutely adored her three grandchildren, and she lit up whenever they were around. Becoming "Kiki" was one of the greatest joys of her life.
She is survived by her husband of 50 years, Andy; her children, Alison and Marc; her sister, Patti; and her grandchildren, Renee, Major, and George - who were truly the center of her world.
Her celebration of life will be December 2 at 4 pm at First United Methodist Church of Richardson, 503 N Central Expy, Richardson, TX 75080.
