Marian S. Kennedy, age 94, of Fort Walton Beach, Fla., passed away Oct. 21, 2007.
She was born on Sept. 3, 1913, in Chicago to Arthur and Alice Seagren. Growing up in Sterling, Ill., she moved to California prior to World War II, and resided most of her life in Santa Monica and Warner Springs.
She moved to Fort Walton Beach in 2005 to live near her son's family. Her time in Santa Monica was spent in raising two sons, and involvement in many charitable organizations. After her husband retired they moved to the Warner Springs Ranch in the mountains behind San Diego. She lived there for several decades, and was very involved in the ladies golf club, the investment club and the historical society. She treasured her many friends at Warner Springs, and in her later years she particularly enjoyed playing cards in the evening at the ranch's cantina.
A truly amazing woman, she was an active and successful real estate agent well into her 80s. Although suffering the loss of her youngest son and later her husband, she maintained a positive attitude toward life and was always up for an adventure - climbing Mount Whitney, going on safari in Africa, boating down the Amazon, and up the Yangtze. She continued to travel until she was 90, and visited every continent except Antarctica
Mrs. Kennedy was preceded in death by her husband, Bartlett Kennedy; and her youngest son, Bruce Kennedy. She is survived by her remaining son, Charles Kennedy and his wife Patricia; and her grandson Brian Kennedy.
A celebration of her life will be held in her condominium at noon on Oct. 25. She will be buried in Santa Monica next to her husband and youngest son.
Her family would like to thank Dr. Russell, the staff at the Fort Walton Beach Medical Center, the Parthenon, and Covenant Hospice for their loving care.
In lieu of flowers, her family requests that donations be made to Covenant Hospice.
McLaughlin Mortuary is in charge of arrangements.
