[WSBAPT] half sister an heir by descent?

[Josh Grant]

I have an estate where decedent did not have a will.; no wife and no kids and no parents surviving.
He has one full brother and a half sister.  The half sister is a daughter of his mom but not his dad.

I assume both the full and half sibling inherit equally.  This is because under 11.04.015(2)(c)  “if the intestate not be survived by issue or by either parent, then those issue of the parent or parents who survive the intestate” and both half and full sibblings are issue of the parent.

But I pause after I  read 11.04.035, and it isn’t something I have had experience with.
Is she as surviving half sister “kindred of the half blood” who inherits; or is she excluded because  the decedent brother is not “her ancestor or kindred of her ancestor”?  I would guess that a half sister is “kindred” of both her parents and therefore is a “kindred of such ancestor’s blood”? But it doesn’t really work between siblings like it would if the inheritance came from a parent ancestor. ??

Thanks
Josh
