Kara graduated from Slippery Rock High School in 1995 and attended Slippery Rock University, where her interest revolved around English and literature.

She loved children and loved reading and playing with them. She loved animals, especially horses, and working on horse farms. She would do anything to help a friend in need, and her friends were from all walks of life. She greatly enjoyed travel and visited Europe twice and as part of a group from Slippery Rock University visited Haiti as a volunteer to support the Haitian people. Most of all, she had a deep love for her niece, Willow, and enjoyed spending time with her.

She attended St. Peter Roman Catholic Church in Slippery Rock.

Survivors are her parents, Stanley J. and Phyllis A. Kendziorski of Slippery Rock; her brother, Eric C. Kendziorski; and her niece, Willow of Grove City.
