Obituary for Laurel Jean Kenney

Laurel Jean Kenney (60) of Leesburg, FL passed away at her home May 29, 2021 after a long but victorious battle with illness. She was born July 26, 1960 in Bangor, Maine.

Laurie is survived by her sisters, Jayne Huston (Jim) of Tavares, FL, Pamela Wing (Rick) of Bangor, ME, Cheryl Hanscom (Stan) of Herman, ME, Linda Speed (Paul) of Carmel, ME, and Paula Smith (Ernest) of Bucksport, ME, nephew Kevin Costa of Dartmouth, MA, niece Erika Benevides (Sidonio) of Fairhaven, MA, niece Caroline Williams (Wally) of New Bedford, MA and along with many more nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews and cousins. She was preceded in death by her parents, Edward James and Barbara Arnold Kenney and her sister, Deanna Costa.

Laurie loved the sunshine and the ocean which fit right into her enjoyment of swimming and fishing. She was an animal lover, particularly cats. She rescued many a cat from their stray existences and was an advocate of the ASPCA. Laurie also enjoyed reading and watching television to pass the time. A Catholic by faith, she maintained a pure spirit in spite of physical illness for 40 years. She always loved a good joke and reciprocated with her own humor. She was a loving and kind person whose memories are many. She will be sorely missed.

A celebration of her life will occur at a later date to be determined in New England.
