LAWTON, Okla. – Kaydan Williams lost her life in a car crash late last December.
Last week, she would have graduated alongside her fellow senior class at MacArthur High School.
“After we lost our daughter Kaydan Williams in a car accident back in December, our family decided we wanted to find some way to bring some happiness and joy back in our lives,” said Kaydan’s mom Stefanie Timmerson.
Kaydan’s mom said the family decided to award a $500 scholarship to her classmate MaKinely Kennedy.
“When she called me I was so touched. I couldn’t believe they felt I was worth to represent the memory of their daughter,” said MaKinley Kennedy.
Even though they weren’t close, Makinley said she remembers the day it happened, and through learning what kind of person Kaydan was, she said she wishes they could have been.
“We saw the Facebook post that we lost a senior in the 2020 class. I didn’t know who it was, or the situation, but it was so heartbreaking to know that al ife with so much potential was taken away so quickly,” said Kennedy.
