Obituary of Barbara Ann (née Bastien) Kennedy

Peacefully, surrounded by family at Chelsey Park LTC Home, on Monday, July 8, 2019, in her 100th year. Beloved wife of the late Fred Kennedy (1993). Loving mother of Michael Kennedy (Jane) and Barbara Thomas (Michael). Cherished Grandma of Mike Kennedy (Laura), Brooke Sharrard (Matt), Sean Thomas (Nina), Jennifer Farnell (Nick), Christopher Lomon (Laurie) and Kim Camenzuli (Tony). Proud Great-grandma of Sam, Charlie, Maddie, Evelyn, Abbie, Ruby, Grace, Matthew and Sarah. Predeceased by her daughter, Frances Lomon (Ross) and her sisters, Rita Leslie and Frances Porter. A special ‘thank you’ to Ellen Robson for her kind and loving care of Mom for the past three years. Barb and Fred started their journey in grade two and married in 1941. They moved to London and became pillars in the Catholic Central High School community. Through it all, Barb never lost her sense of humour, her love of animals, her zest for life and all things chocolate. The family would also like to thank the staff at Chelsey Park for their care and compassion. A memorial service will be conducted at WESTVIEW FUNERAL CHAPEL, 709 Wonderland Road North, London, on Tuesday, August 6, 2019 at 2:00 p.m., with visitation one hour prior. Those wishing to make a donation in memory of Barbara are asked to consider the Parkinson Society Southwestern Ontario or any animal charity of their choice.
