Edmonton/Whitney Pier
It is with great sadness that we, the family, announce the peaceful passing of Kendall Nadine Best, on Saturday, December 31, 2022, in Edmonton, AB.
A beloved daughter, mother, friend, and shining light in the lives of many, Kendall was known for her contagious laughter, her boundless energy, and her ability to light up any room she entered.
Born on April 29, 1982, in Sydney and raised in Whitney Pier, Kendall attended Sydney Academy and then went on to CBU where she obtained her BA with a Major in Psychology. She then attended Sainte-Anne Université where she obtained her diploma in French. Kendall later attended NSCC where she obtained her OH&S Inspector Certification. Kendall moved to Edmonton, Alberta, where she worked for DoubleTree by Hilton as the Catering Sales Manager.
As a mother, Kendall was deeply caring and dedicated to her children, always making time to be there for them and to support them in all of their endeavors. Her children will always remember her as a guiding light in their lives, a constant source of love and encouragement.
Kendall was also an accomplished athlete, excelling in basketball, hockey and soccer. She was known for her fierce competitiveness and her sportsmanship, always pushing herself and her teammates to be their best.
But perhaps Kendall’s greatest gift was her ability to bring people together. She was the life of every party, always making sure that everyone was having a good time and that no one felt left out. Her warmth and generosity knew no bounds, and she will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Kendall was predeceased by her grandmother, Idella Elizabeth (Kirton) Best.
Kendall is survived by her mother, Kimberly G. Best (Joe Jessome); sons, Omari Anthony and Roman O’Neil Best; grandfather, George Whitfield Best; uncles, Whitfield Best, and Robert Best; aunt, Cheryl Butler-Berkeley (Mark) and her godmother, Clara Hillier.
Kendall leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and friendship that will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. She will be deeply missed, but her memory will be forever cherished. May she rest in peace.
Visitation for the late Kendall Best will be held on Friday, January 27, 2023, from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. at the Pier Community Funeral Home, Whitney Pier, 1092 Victoria Road. Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, January 28, 2023, at 11 a.m. in St. Philips African Orthodox Church, Whitney Pier with Archbishop Theodore Mascoll officiating. Interment will take place Forest Haven Memorial Gardens, Sydney, at a later date.

To Kim and Kendall’s family
Words alone cannot express my deepest condolences. In reading Kendall’s accomplishments it did not surprise me how successful she was in life. Her personality in grade 6 was the very same. She was a beautiful student with an abundance of friends and always so kind to everyone. As a teacher we find it hard to hear of student loss and fondly recall so many great memories of children now as adults. Blessings to her children
