Kenyonna Renae Sabrina Farr's Obituary
Kenyonna Renae Sabrina Farr, 37, of Oakland, California, passed away on March 13, 2026. Kenyonna was born on July 10, 1988, in Berkeley, California, to Pamela Yvette Williams and David Michael Belser. She was lovingly raised in Oakland by her grandmother, Shirley Gray, whom she deeply cherished and held close to her heart.
Kenyonna attended Parker Elementary School and later University Prep Charter Academy in Oakland. She went on to earn her GED from the East Oakland Youth Development Center, demonstrating her determination and resilience. A woman of many layers, Kenyonna gave her life to Jesus Christ at an early age and, as she grew older, found her way back to her faith. She attended Covenant Worship Center where she became a member on July 20, 2025, alongside her mentor, Crystal, who became not only a guiding presence but also a sister and confidant. Kenyonna will be remembered for her contagious laugh, vibrant personality, and unmistakable sense of humor. She had a deep love for those she held close and was fiercely protective of her family and friends. She brought a unique and unforgettable energy to every space—especially known for her “special” form of chaos in her sister Cierra’s life and the joyful moments of gossip and laughter shared with her baby sister Jasmine. She shared a special bond with her aunt, Glenda, who helped raise her and stood by her with unwavering love and support throughout her life. She took her to her first concert, encouraged her involvement in Girl Scouts, and welcomed her often to work alongside her at the family laundromat.
Kenyonna was the life of family gatherings—her laughter and vibrant spirit were among her most beautiful gifts. In her later years, she frequently joined the Feathers of His Protection Prayer Line, a ministry founded by her aunt and sister, Cierra, where she prayed boldly for others and for herself. She leaves behind an indelible legacy of faith, love, and forgiveness. She is survived by her mother, Pamela Yvette Williams; her father, David Michael Belser; her four children: Kahmari Williams, Kahmani Ivey, Kahmina Williams, and Kamila Vallejo; and her sisters, Cierra Ivey, Jasmine Smith, and Dondrea Belser.
She was preceded in death by her beloved grandmother, Shirley Gray; her grandfather, Samuel Williams; her sister, Jamila Farr; and her cousins, Britney Johnson, Carol Bailey, and Michael Bailey. Kenyonna’s spirit, laughter, and love will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
