Makenzie Elizabeth Cheston

Mackenzie “Kenzie” Elizabeth Cheston born in Towson on January 22, 2007 passed away unexpectedly at the home of her mother, Shannon Cheston, in Timonium, MD on September 2nd. She was a junior at Dulaney Valley High School and enjoyed different styles of dance like jazz, modern and ballet. Mackenzie enjoyed animals especially her pet hamster, Jessie and dog, Ellie. She always felt joy whenever she was with her friends and she attended the church Youth Group going with them recently on an 8-day retreat to Ireland. Traveling to new places was one of the things she loved the most. In addition to her mother, she is survived by her sister Clare Cheston and half-sister Danielle Frederick, grandmother Dr. Sharon Cheston of Timonium, and grandfather James Cheston of Harwood, MD as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, godparents, and dear friends of our family.
