Kendall, on her ¿rst and only blind date. They were married in September of 1980 and were able to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary before his passing in 2006. Even in the last year of her life, despite health challenges, Afton would always light up the lives of everyone she met with her smile and pleasant “Hello.” She is survived by her daughters Cami Horton and Marteen Ward; sisters Pam Hamilton and Penny Broyles; grand- daughters Kristen Venable, Holly Ward and Melissa Ward; stepchildren Dalene Faire, Lori Wise and Andy Kendall; and nephew and nieces Stephan Hamilton, Erika Yzaguirre and Lisa Hernandez.
