Kaida attended Washington High School and approached life with a loving heart and a lively personality.

Those who knew her could see that she had a tender and thoughtful way about her, and she carried herself with a strength that left a lasting impression on family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.
She found joy in the simple things that made life sweet. Kaida loved Taco Bell and Pepsi, and her favorite snack was hot fries and cream cheese. She enjoyed going for walks, spending time with friends, and listening to her favorite music. These moments brought her happiness, and they reflected the easygoing and loving spirit she shared with those around her. Whether she was out and about, laughing with friends, or enjoying her favorite foods, Kaida embraced life in her own special way.
