Kyndra was born in Worcester, daughter of Jessi Small and Steven Holland. She previously lived in Worcester and was currently a sophomore at West Springfield High School. Kyndra had a exuberant loving personality and was both eclectic and eccentric in the way she lived.
She loved listening to music, especially country and gospel music, formed by her grandparents William Small Sr and Penny DeSalvio. Kyndra never passed up an opportunity to dance, and would have anyone join her. She also could often be found playing and watching YouTube which would make her laugh, enjoyed local parks, swimming, singing, surrounded by her family and countless Minnie Mouse items.
Kyndra was loved by all who knew her. Whenever she entered the room, she brought happiness and joy, and she brought smiles to everyone around her. Shine the light.
