Elizabeth's obituary
September 6, 1993 - October 18, 2025
Elizabeth Shari Kenyon, 32, of Portsmouth, NH, passed away unexpectedly on October 18th, 2025, due to a heart-related medical emergency.
Elizabeth was a radiant soul. Sweet, caring, and endlessly compassionate. She loved deeply and wholeheartedly, sometimes so much that it hurt. Her world was filled with beauty: sparkly things, fluffy things, and animals, especially elephants, which were her favorite. She had a gift for making others feel seen and appreciated, whether it was a quiet thank-you to a first responder or a warm smile and a compliment to a stranger.
She was the beloved daughter of Sherry and Kevin Kenyon, and a devoted mother to her son Hunter, who turns 8 this month. Elizabeth fought fiercely to stay present for him, drawing strength from their bond and her love for family. She cherished her grandparents, Patricia and Gary, affectionately known as "Mimi" and "Rumpa", and held her siblings Rich, Catt, and Samantha close to her heart.
Elizabeth's kindness extended to every corner of her life. She couldn't bear to see any creature in pain, and her empathy for people, animals, and nature was unmatched.
She leaves behind a legacy of love, gentleness, and gratitude, a reminder to slow down, say thank you, and care deeply.
She will be missed more than words can say.
In lieu of flowers, the family encourages acts of kindness in Elizabeth's honor- whether it's a hug, a thank-you, or a moment spent with someone who needs it.
