Kenna Jill Burns

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Kenna Jill Burns, a beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, grandmother, aunt, and friend, on November 19, 2024, at the age of 58.

Born on April 28, 1966, Kenna was a cornerstone of her family and community. She dedicated over 40 years to her career at Baker-Hughes, where her unwavering dedication and expertise made her the heart of the accounting department, even as the company evolved through the years.

Kenna’s life was defined by her deep faith in Jesus and her tireless compassion for others. She generously gave her time and energy to help those in need, embodying love and kindness in every interaction. Her steadfast belief in Christ was a guiding light, and she longed for the day she would see Him face to face.

A true animal lover, Kenna adored her pets, both past and present. She found immense joy and comfort in their companionship, cherishing them as members of her family. Her tender care and affection for her furry friends reflected the kindness she extended to everyone around her.

Kenna is survived by her devoted husband, Bob Burns; her loving mother, Barbara Jean Lopez; her cherished sons, Brice Blackerby (Tasha Blackerby) and Adam Blackerby; and her treasured grandchildren, Breaunna Blackerby and Connor Blackerby. She is also survived by her two sisters, Denise Blackerby and Kristi Arechiga; her nephew Trey Arechiga and his son Jaxon Arechiga.

Kenna’s love and legacy will live on in the hearts of her family and all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her kind spirit, selflessness, and unwavering faith have left an indelible mark on the lives she touched.

 Per Jill’s wishes there will be no formal funeral services. If you wish to send condolences to the family, please address them to 806 Friars Lane, Baytown, TX 77521.

Kenna will be deeply missed, but we take comfort in knowing she is at peace in the presence of her Savior, surrounded by love and the memories of those she held dear, both human and animal alike.
