Bernice “Bea” Kennedy, 103, of Oakes, ND, passed away December 12, 2017 at the Oakes Good Samaritan Society.
Bernice Cecilia, daughter of John and Julia (Orth) Bopp was born May 18, 1914 at Stirum, North Dakota. She was united in marriage to Cecil Kennedy in 1936. They lived in Crete, where they operated a General Store for over 50 years. Bea was also a school teacher before her marriage to Cecil and was the Postmistress in Crete for a number of years. In 1986 they bought a home in Mission, Texas, where they enjoyed spending the winter months. Cecil died in 1997.
Bea is survived by her three children, Gary (Nancy) Kennedy, Bev (Rich) Lindseth, and David Kennedy; nine grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Cecil, and all three of her sisters and brothers-in-law.
Bea’s three children feel so blessed to have had a wonderful mother for all these years. We are all honored to have had Bea in our lives; our mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, and great-grandmother. The time we had with her will always be cherished and her presence will be truly missed by us…and her loving memory will never be forgotten.
Visitation will be held on Thursday, December 21, 2017 from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. followed by Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00 a.m. at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church, Oakes. Burial will be in St. Charles Catholic Cemetery near Oakes.
