Jerry Lee Kennedy

Jerry Lee Kennedy, 79, of Owensboro passed away Thursday, April 1, 2021 at Owensboro Health Regional Hospital. Born December 21, 1941 in Daviess County to the late Jesse Lee Kennedy and Celestine Coomes Kennedy, Jerry graduated from Owensboro Catholic High School (class of 1959) and retired as a salesman from Jones Wholesale after 32 years. Jerry loved working out in his yard, mowing, trimming, and landscaping. He also enjoyed camping with his family at Millers Lake and trips to the Smokies and was a member of the Kentucky Hillbillies. Jerry had a great sense of humor and loved telling jokes which he continued even to the very end with the nurses at the hospital. As a faithful member of Our Lady of Lourdes Parish, Jerry was always ready to help and serve his church.

In addition to his parents, Jerry also was preceded in death by his brother, Kenny Kennedy.
