EVELYN KENNEDY
Peace came for Evelyn Kennedy
on Thursday, Oct. 7, 1999, at
Huronlea Home in Brussels, in her
92nd year.
The beloved wife of the late Roy
Kennedy, she leaves behind to
celebrate her life, son Robert
Kennedy and his wife Debbie of
Grand Bend, son David Kennedy
and his wife Louise of Winnipeg,
seven grandchildren and six great
grandchildren.
Born in Baden, ON, Evelyn
experienced family responsibilities
early when her mother died young.
She moved with her father, Nathan
Chapman to Brussels where she
met and married Roy Kennedy.
This started a career of over 40
years in the newspaper business.
For most of that time she worked
hard over long hours to meet the
weekly deadline of The Brussels
Post as well as the demands of
raising two sons.
A weekly column by Evelyn
reflected her varied interests and
loves. Short Shots presented her
thoughts about local events, the
weather, national and international
affairs, or her dog - and sometimes
all in the same issue.
Evelyn believed strongly in
volunteer service in her community
and dedicated many years to
producing and directing variety
reviews and plays. These
fundraising efforts showcased
children, teens and adults, talented
and not-so-talented members of the
local community. This strong
volunteer commitment was
recognized when she was honoured
with a community volunteer award.
Evelyn and Roy sacrificed much
for their sons. Her love of music
encouraged and nurtured that same
response in both boys, resulting in
life-long achievement and
satisfaction for them. Her kind and
gentle spirit nurtured in them a
strong concern for others.
The love of family continued to
grow with her seven grandchildren
and six great-grandchildren. They
gave her great joy and were a
constant source of pleasure. Their
visits and calls always delighted
her.
Evelyn, this world is better for
your having been here. You will
continue to be treasured in lhe
memories of your family, relatives
and friends.
Friends were received by the
family from 2 - 4 and 7 - 9 p.m.
Friday at the Schimanski Family
Funeral Home, Brussels, where the
funeral service was conducted on
Saturday, Oct. 9 at 2 p.m. with Rev.
Nancy Beale of St. John’s Anglican
Church officiating.
Pallbearers were Samantha
Pershaw, Andy Kennedy, Adrian
Kennedy, Bob Kennedy, Peter
Hemingway and Bob Cammidge.
Interment was in Brussels
Cemetery.
As an expression of sympathy,
memorial donations may be made
to the Canadian Diabetes
Association.
