Kenneth C. Bodden

Kenneth C. Bodden, age 91, of Brentwood, Tennessee, passed away on Friday, November 21, 2025. He was born on January 21, 1934, in Theresa, Wisconsin, to the late Clarence H. Bodden and Ruth (Lyons) Bodden.

Kenneth married the love of his life, Audrey Bodden, on January 3, 1958, in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Their marriage of nearly 67 years was his greatest joy, and he always cherished the day Audrey became his wife, along with the births of their four children. The couple lived in Montgomery for most of their marriage. Kenneth served in the United States Army with an honorable discharge and later retired from his life’s work in waste management.

A devout Catholic throughout his life, Kenneth deeply valued his faith and proudly called Holy Family Catholic Church his home parish since moving to Brentwood, Tennessee in 2013.

Bodden; his sisters-in-law, Dorothy Bodden, Carolyn Bodden, Lela Mitchell, and Maxine Burdette; his brother-in-law, Samuel (Bud) Burdett; and his nephew, Todd Bodden.

He is survived by his children, Mark (Linda) Bodden, Mickey (Kala) Bodden, Marcia (Daryl) Dixon, and Michele Bodden; grandchildren, Lauren Bodden, Blair Bodden (Kevin) Wilson, Taylor (Caroline) Bodden, Baley Bodden, and Coleman Dixon; two great-grandchildren, Neil Chapman Bodden and Windham Charles Bodden; his brother, Daniel Bodden; and sister-in-law, Mary Bodden.
