BETTY LEFT BEHIND HER BELOVED HUSBAND, F. DENNIS KENNY, WHOM SHE LOVED DEARLY AND TO WHOM SHE HAD BEEN MARRIED 51 YEARS. SHE ALSO LEFT BEHIND DANA KENNY, PAT AND CHRISTY KENNY, ALONG WITH MANY NIECES AND NEPHEWS ON BOTH SIDES THAT SHE HELD DEAR IN HER HEART. ADDITIONALLY SHE LEFT MANY DEAR FRIENDS LOCALLY AND AROUND THE WORLD THAT WERE LIKE FAMILY TO HER. HER GREATEST DESIRE IS THAT EACH OF THEM WILL MEET HER JUST INSIDE THE EASTERN GATE IN HEAVEN WHERE SHE WILL BE WAITING FOR THEM.
