Mckenna Crail Obituary

Mckenna Riley Crail

Mckenna Riley Crail, age 44, passed away on March 18, 2021, in her home in Reno, Nevada. She was born in Ukiah, California in 1976 and graduated from Melville Montessori School in 1995. She lived for several years in both Manhattan Beach and Newport Beach, California before relocating to Reno, Nevada for the latter half of her life.

She was beautiful and kind with a loving heart and a smile that lit up a room. She touched many lives with her caring soul and effervescent personality. McKenna lived a colorful life traveling to many exotic locations throughout the world and making numerous friends along the way including her stepmother, Nancy, whom she introduced to her father, Miles.

She was an excellent cook, a great fisherwoman and an avid lover of all creatures caring for dogs, cats, bunnies, her horse and her beloved dog, Shamu who was always by her side.

She is survived by her father and stepmother, Miles and Nancy Crail of Reno, her mother Barbara Crail of Arizona, her sister and family, Michelin, Tim, Wilder & Kennedy, all of Cairns, Australia, along with aunts, uncles and cousins. She will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved Her. Rest in Peace. Until we meet again.
