Eleanor Mary Kennedy

Born on January 9, 1937, in Brooklyn, New York, Eleanor lived a life filled with faith, kindness, and laughter. She devoted many years to volunteer work at her local Roman Catholic church, St. Joan of Arc, always offering her time and heart to help others. Her joyful spirit, quick wit, and warm smile brought light to everyone she met.

Eleanor graduated from The State University of New York where she received an associate in business. Throughout her life Eleanor worked in electronics with various companies.

On October 2, 1955, she married her husband, Francis Kennedy.

Eleanor loved the simple pleasures of life- time on the tennis court, friendly games of golf, and sharing laughter with friends and family. Her greatest gift was her ability to make everyone smile, a legacy she leaves to all who knew her.

She is survived by her loving husband Frank, her daughters Catherine and Patricia, her sister Beatrice Bouchard, and grandchildren Danielle, Nicole, Ken, Michael, Amanda, Chris, Emily, Rachel and Zackery and many great grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her sons James, Kenneth, and Michael.

A funeral service will be announced at a later date. In keeping with her spirit, the family asks that friends honor Eleanor by sharing a smile and a kind word with someone in need.

“Eleanors' greatest gift was her ability to make everyone smile, a light that will forever shine in our hearts.”
