Biographie Kenney Frances

Youngest daughter of William (Bill) Kenney and Mary Christina Dourley of Iroquois Falls, she was 88 years young and the sole surviving member of her family. She was predeceased by her husband Thomas and sons Eric, Denis (Maureen Commerford) and Thomas Jr. (Kathy Campbell). She leaves behind Kenneth (Rosemary Breault), Terry (Rita Assouline), Linda (Jim Roberts) and Victoria (Tim Winchester), along with eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren: Marc and Julie Landry, Thomas Jackson, Craig Landry, Sean (Elizabeth Wilson), Mary and Kaelyn Landry, Michelle (Xavier Lafontaine) and Alexandra Landry, Jesse and Amy Winchester. She will also be missed by her nieces and nephews; especially Denise Cuddy (Boice Winchester). A longtime resident of Iroquois Falls before moving to Billings Lodge (Ottawa) in 1997, Frances will be fondly remembered for her bright spirit, her keen wit and her sympathetic ear for the trials and tribulations of others. She exemplified these qualities in her everyday life and in her volunteer work, giving new meaning to the old adage "Good things come in small packages".
