JUDITH GRACE KENNY

July 1, 1941 -March 4, 2026 Born in St. Thomas, Ontario, Judith Kenny (nee Beale), died unexpectedly in Toronto. She was the oldest daughter of Frederick J. Beale and Molly Beale (nee Elgie). She was predeceased by her younger sister Linda, her parents, and daughter Megan (2007). Judith began her career in the publications department of the London Life Insurance Co. Married to David Kenny in 1965, she joined the Mutual Life Insurance Co. in Waterloo, and from 1966-69 was administrative assistant to the dean of women at Western University. Judith exposed her daughters Sarah Hencz (nee Kenny) and Megan to nature and all forms of art and photography. Later, she graduated from George Brown College, Toronto with honours in Jewellery Arts and Design. Judith continued as a metalsmith in her home studio where she made bespoke designs in silver and gold for over a decade. Judith and David met in high school and together they built a lifetime of joint experiences in the visual arts; architecture, painting and photography that continued unabated to the end. Judith sailed out of the R.C.Y.C. with David and their daughters for over thirty years. She enjoyed golfing in Toronto and Florida, where they spent many winters in Bonita Springs. David and Judith travelled to scientific conferences together collecting memories from art galleries, museums, and architecture while always photographing. There will be no services and remains will rest at the Mt. Pleasant Cemetery. Donations to the Megan J. Kenny Scholarship in Kiln Cast Glass at Sheridan College, Oakville would be appreciated by the young artists that follow.
