Kira Chamberlin

Kira attended primary school in Dover, Delaware until she relocated to Florida in 2015. There, she completed the fifth grade before choosing to home school. She was well liked by her peers. Kira remained an ‘A’ Honor Roll student and even skipped the 6th grade! Kira was currently in the 7th grade. Throughout her academic career, Kira received awards for Responsibility. Kira was also a girl scout whilst in primary school.

Kira enjoyed reading, crafting, dancing, and listening to music. Her competitive side explored soccer, basketball, and swim. She was a force on the field.

With her family, Kira was always excited to explore amusement parks, especially roller coasters; traveling; and outdoor activities like skating, biking, bowling, and anything competitive that she could challenge her family at. Her favorite basketball team was Golden State Warriors, with Stephen Curry being her favorite player. Her favorite football team was the Philadelphia Eagles. Kira loved a variety of music which included artists like Beyonce, Alessia Cara, Toni Romiti, Drake, Chance, and Post Malone.

As a child, Kira was dedicated under the Christian faith at Greater Refuge Temple in Mount Vernon, New York and was rededicated at Calvary Church in Dover, Delaware in 2013.

Kira adored her siblings: Kalif Dunnah, Lavondre Chamberlin Jr., and Lauryn Chamberlin. She would spend countless hours with Kalif playing computer math games, watching him play MineCraft, and searching other entertaining videos. Kira was amazing at engaging her younger siblings, Lavondre and Lauryn in activities like movies and puzzles.

While many may know and remember Kira to be sassy and sarcastic, Kira wishes to be remembered as funny, creative, inspiring, interesting, intelligent, courageous, beautiful, and hilarious.
