The Bakersfield Californian 
Jane Kenny
"Grandma Boo"

Services: Wed., Mar. 16, 11 a.m. 

Rose Garden services will be held at 11:00 a.m., at Paso Robles Cemetery, 45 
Naciemiento Lake Drive, Paso Robles, California for Jane Kenny, who passed 
away March 9, 2005. Pastor Jayne Simon of Hospice Partners of the Central 
Coast will officiate.

Jane was born in Moody, Missouri, January 26, 1926. She grew up in Paso 
Robles, CA and married Hank Kenny who preceded her in death in 1979.

She worked at Avenal Community Hospital and was involved with Avenal 
Elementary School PTA and various other school functions. She was a very 
involved mother in Avenal Little League. After moving to Bakersfield, she 
worked at Memorial, San Joaquin and eventually retired from Good Samaritan 
Hospital.

Her life was about her belief in the Lord and about her family, whom she loved 
unconditionally. She was always there to listen without judging and she always 
was willing to help anyone in need. In her later years, she loved being around 
her great-grandchildren, whom she called my Little Toodlebugs. They nicknamed 
her Grandma Boo because she played a peek-a-boo with them from the time they 
were born.

Jane was preceded in death by her parents, John and Rose Collins; brother, 
Buster Collins and brother, Ray Collins. Survivors include her sister and 
brother-in-law, Betty and Bob Edwards of Paso Robles; son and daughter-in-law, 
Robert and Audrey Kenny; grandson, Mike Kenny and wife, Laura; granddaughter, 
Michelle ODonnell; four great-grandchildren, Aden and Aaron Andreason, Cade 
Kenny and Skylar Ann ODonnell. She also leaves to cherish her memory, niece, 
Debra Tidd and family; niece, Maureen Malone and family; niece, Patti Wade and 
family; nephew, Jerry Collins and family; nephew, Tom Collins and wife, 
Bonnie, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.

The family would like to thank all of the staff at Beverly Manor who made her 
final days the best that they could be.

Also, a special thank you to Diane Lewis, Certified Nursing Assistant 
Instructor from Career Resource Department, for the special care her students 
provide to the residents at Beverly Manor, and especially to David Craven for 
his loving care of our mother.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to either Beverly Manor Healthcare 
Activities Dept., 3601 San Dimas Street, Bakersfield, CA 93301, or to Hospice 
Partners of the Central Coast, 277 South St., Suite R, San Luis Obispo, CA

We Miss You Grandma Boo

And You Will Be In Our Hearts Forever
