Kent and her sister, Kerren, were driving home after celebrating the holidays with their family in the Florida Keys. One of the car's tires split open, causing the car to flip several times. Both Kent and her sister, who was driving, were hospitalized.
Nina L. Babcock, a friend of Kent's, said what interested Kent at first was why the children hated to be touched.
Friends remembered that Kent, who registered with the Extension School this fall, wrote whole "collections" of poetry. Some of her poems, including one titled "Finding Perfection," were read at the memorial service in Sarasota.
Her father said a collection of poetic works she wrote in high school will remain buried in a time capsule at St. Dominic's until 2100.
Several of Kent's friends who worked with her at the Crimson Sports Grille, where Kent was a waitress, traveled to Sarasota for the service and visited a stretch of beach she had frequented.
