Mary Crecca Kenny passed away peacefully on Wednesday January 12th, 2022. Mary was born in Newark, New Jersey on May 3, 1928. She was a proud alumna of Our Lady of Good Counsel High School and Chestnut Hill College. Mary married William T. Kenny on June 11th, 1949. They had a loving marriage for over 56 years. They raised nine children in Maplewood, New Jersey and New Vernon, New Jersey. Mary was an active parishioner at Our Lady of Sorrows in South Orange, New Jersey and The Church of Christ the King, New Vernon, New Jersey where she served as President of the Regina Mundi Guild. Mary's strong Faith served her well in raising her family and by her Christian example she touched the lives of many. Her devotion to the Catholic Church was the greatest gift she passed on to her children and their families.
As her children aged, she embarked on a successful and fulfilling career at Weichert Realtors in Basking Ridge, New Jersey. As a realtor, she loved settling families into new homes in the area and she was a great advocate for her clients. After Mary retired from real estate, she turned her focus to writing.

She was fascinated to hear people's life stories and loved helping them craft their memoirs. One of her greatest loves was helping veterans to heal old wounds through writing about their wartime experiences. Mary wrote poetry and books about her father, her husband, and her family. Mary had many lifelong friends young and old. She cherished her friendships and was a loyal compassionate confidant.
Mary is predeceased by her loving parents, William and Mary Crecca, her sister Ellen and brother James and his wife Susan, her beloved husband Bill and her two daughters' in-law Maggie and Megan Kenny and great-grandson, Elliot.
