JEAN M. KENNEDY
April 29, 1931 — October 22, 2019
Jean Mae Kennedy (nee Nickels), age 88, of Brunswick and Conneaut, passed away on October 22, 2019. Jean was born on April 29, 1931 in Conneaut, OH, to Harold and Emily (nee Jones) Nickels.
Jean was a member in good standing of the Greatest Generation, beginning as an office worker at P&C Docks in Conneaut Harbor in the late 1940s and early ’50s. After raising four children, she was an employee of American Greetings, stocking cards in local drug and grocery stores. Jean was outgoing and social – an avid bowler and card-player. Her cooking and canning skills are the stuff of legends, especially her vegetable soup and family events including apple sauce weekends with her grandchildren. Jean was truly accomplished at the sewing machine, producing clothing, costumes and dozens of heirloom quilts for generations of family members.
She will be dearly missed by her sister-in-law, Elizabeth Walker (William); daughters, Sue Heys (Edward) of Bennington VT, Polly Hunter (Robert) of Pickerington OH, Kelly Rowe (Randy) of Brunswick OH; and son, David Kennedy of Sidney OH; former daughter-in-law, Maria Kennedy of Conneaut; grandchildren, Ashley Heys, Kyle and Joshua Hunter, Brittney and Benjamin Rowe, Nicole, David and Matthew Kennedy; great grandchildren, Kaitlyn Kennedy, Olivia Preston, Macie Kennedy, Logan Ingold, Ethan Heys, Grayson Ingold, Amelia Heys and Allie Hunter.
She was wed to Larry Kennedy July 1, 1952. She is preceded in death by her husband; parents, Harold and Emily (Jones) Nickels; siblings, Nancy Nielsen and Bonnie Blood; and grandson, M. Damon Heys.
