Mildred A. Kennedy

Mildred A. Kennedy

In Loving Memory

Born August 4, 1914 in Seattle to Edward C. and Jennie A. Jansen. Passed away peacefully on October 22, 2015. Survived by children Corinne Kennedy (Douglas Ring) and Bruce Kennedy (Barbara); granddaughters Suzanne Hunter (Bill) and Renae Kennedy; and great-grandsons Shaun and Logan Hunter. As a young woman, Mildred worked as an executive secretary in Seattle, Indianapolis and New York. She married Edward L. Kennedy in September, 1946. He preceded her in death on August 18, 2008. Millie was a wonderful cook, having taken over her family's cooking at the age of 10. She also enjoyed and excelled at sewing, gardening, flower arranging, china painting, design projects, and playing bridge. She had a generous and loving spirit, and helped care for several family friends when their health began to fail. After Ed's retirement in 1979, they enjoyed many years of travel together. The family is very grateful to Taylor's Adult Family Home in Burien, where she received wonderful, loving care for over six years. She remained involved with her family -- and interested in the lives of others and in current events -- until after her 100th birthday.
