Jeannie Kennelly Obituary

Jeannie Sharon Kennelly, 79, passed away peacefully in the early hours of May 31, 2025 in Phoenix, Arizona. Born on April 30, 1946, Jeannie lived a life full of love, strength, and compassion. She was known for her kindness, caring nature, and witty sense of humor and touched the lives of many through her work, family, and many friends. Jeannie is survived by her son, Wayne Richardson, Jr. and wife Yolanda Richardson, of Baytown, TX, daughter, Jeannie Marie Blissett and husband Gordon Blissett of Huffman, TX, grandchildren Jalynn Marie Blissett, Logan Perry Blissett, and Nolan Wayne Blissett of Huffman, TX, and Olivia Rayne Richardson and Zayne Elliott Richardson of Baytown, TX, her life partner, Steve Hartman, and good friend Jeff (Boo) Muir of Peoria, AZ. as well as many other friends and family. She will be remembered most for her positive attitude, love for the Denver Broncos, and dedication to her grandchildren. Jeannie enjoyed Karaoke nights, trips to Houston to see her children and grandchildren, and spending time at home with her beloved partner and friends. Jeannie was known to go all out for Halloween and could always be counted on for a humorous Holiday card in the mail. Jeannie's warmth, wisdom, and love will be deeply missed but forever cherished.

I am very saddened to hear about the passing of my good friend and "Southern Belle", Jeannie. Her warm smile and personality will be greatly missed by myself and those of us who were her ' second family ' and patrons at the "Palace" in Chicago. God bless and keep you. Until we meet again at the big karaoke night in Heaven.
