Eleanor Louise Kennedy

It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce our mothers passing on April 24, 2017 in her 94th year. Cherished wife of the late John (Mac) Kennedy for 53 years and predeceased by her sisters Ruth Brittain and Elsie Thomas of Saint John, New Brunswick. Dear mother of Ruth (Barry) McDowell, John Kennedy and Moira (Harley) Smith. She will be missed by her ten grandchildren, Bryan, Andrew, AJ, Nathan, Daniel, Timothy, Michelle, Alex, Trevor and Derek plus their families which include her 14 great grandchildren. Eleanor’s quick wit and sense of humor will be remembered by her nieces, nephews, friends and neighbours.

Eleanor was born August 10, 1923 in Lorneville, NB to Leonard and Mabel Galbraith. Mac and Eleanor moved to London after marrying in 1950. It was a wonderful community to raise their three children.

When Mac passed away in 2003 and her health started to fail, she lived at Meadowcroft Retirement Home and for the past seven years at the Village of Glendale Crossing. We would like to thank all the fine staff for their special treatment to our mother and providing her with quality care and dignity at the end of her journey.

Visitation will be on Friday, April 28, 2:00-4:00 pm and 7:00-9:00 pm at Needham Funeral Service, 520 Dundas Street, London, Ontario. The funeral will be on Saturday at 10:30 am at the same location with visitation one hour prior to the service. Donations can be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association or the charity of your choice. Friends and relatives are invited to sign Eleanor’s online book of condolences at www.needhamfuneralhome.com
