Joankay Kent Obituary

Joankay Kent passed on Sunday July 27 at the age of 89 surrounded by her daughters and her devoted companion and friend Ransom "Jerry" Amlong. She was predeceased by her husband of 55 years, Robert Kent. Joankay lived an active, diverse and creative life and poured a lot of passion into each of her interests - whether it was walking the fairways as an avid golfer, contributing her skills to women golf groups in Baltimore and her new home in FL, and capturing beauty as a gifted amateur photographer. After the passing of her husband Bob, Joankay enjoyed a new chapter of love and companionship with Jerry and their new home in Hobe Sound FL, a place that brought them joy and peace.

She is survived by her companion Jerry; her daughters, Tara Kent McDonough (Harry) and Tami Kent Green (Doug); her granddaughters, Katharine McDonough, Janice Stencil (Michael) and Lisa Staley (Ryan); and her four cherished great-grandchildren, Michael and Jeremy Stencil, and Zackary and Ava Staley.

The family will receive friends at the Lemmon Funeral Home of Dulaney Valley, Inc., 10 W. Padonia Road (at York Road) Timonium, Maryland 21093 on Saturday, August 23, 2025 from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM at which time a Celebration of Life service will begin.

Inurnment to follow at Dulaney Valley Memorial Gardens, 200 E. Padonia Road, Timonium, MD 21093.
