Jane Kenny passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 31st, 2025. She was a devoted mother, a proud grandmother, and a beloved member of her community.

Jane is survived by her loving children-Michael, Elizabeth, and Ellen-as well as her eight cherished grandchildren, each of whom brought great joy to her life. She was preceded in death by her husband, John Kenny, with whom she shared many years of love, laughter, and adventure.

Jane found immense joy in watching her grandchildren grow, always present with a warm smile and gentle encouragement. She was a proud member of the Beta Sigma Phi sorority, where she built lasting friendships and gave generously of her time through volunteer work. Jane also had a passion for travel, and she treasured the many journeys she shared with her late husband.

Jane will be remembered for her kind heart, unwavering devotion to her family, and her quiet strength. Her legacy of love, service, and warmth lives on through those who knew and loved her.
