Caitlyn Lennon

Caitlyn Breanne Lennon
Born: August 9th, 1997
Last Smile: November 1st, 2016

Caitlyn Lennon, 19, of Urbandale Iowa shared her last smile and laugh with the world on November 1st, 2016. She is survived by her parents Zane and Kim Lennon; siblings Cameron Lennon (sister in-law Logan, nephew Kristian) and Channing Lennon; paternal grandmother Marge Sanchez (Dennis); maternal grandparents Bob and Dee Lennon; uncles Shane Sanchez (wife Jess, children Alexis and Aspen) and Patrick Lennon (wife Jinky); and extended family too numerous to list but not forgotten.

Caitlyn graduated from Valley High School in 2015 where she played softball and was part of the Best Buddies program. Caitlyn was attending college, working towards an accounting degree. She worked at Scheels, Jordan Creek Mall, and considered the people she worked with her second family.

Caitlyn was the brightest ray of sunshine, her smile and laugh were infectious and she lit up any room she was in. Caitlyn had the biggest heart and many were blessed by her loving and caring personality. She loved doing outdoor activities including skiing in the winter, walking her dog Marley, playing hostage with the softball team, and just hanging around family and friends. Caitlyn was an avid lover of sports whether playing or watching - she was a girl with a competitive heart. Caitlyn was always passionate about watching her favorite teams which included the Denver Broncos, the Pittsburgh Penguins, and the Chicago Cubs.

Her spirit is carried on by many close friends that knew Caitlyn and loved her because she was courageous, sassy, loving, and big hearted. Those lucky enough to have Caitlyn as a friend knew that there was nothing Caitlyn wouldn’t do for them - big or small. Caitlyn had a zest for life, a commitment to family and friends, and the power of a smile.

Caitlyn will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her. She was the kind of young woman that anyone would be proud to call daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin, aunt, and friend. Visitation will be held on Tuesday November 8th, 2016 from 4:00 – 7:00 PM at Hamilton’s on Westown Parkway, 3601 Westown Parkway, West Des Moines, Iowa. Funeral services will be held in the same location on Wednesday, November 9th at 10:00 AM.

The family asks that you spend time with your children and make a toast to enduring friendships, lifelong and beyond.
