Louisa J. Kenney

COLEBROOK – Louisa J. Kenney, 70, of Colebrook, passed away peacefully on Monday, July 4, 2022, at the Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital after several months of declining health. She was born in Fort Fairfield, Me., on Dec. 6, 1951, a daughter to the late Mungo and Eva (Hill) White. Her family moved when she was young to Marathon, N.Y., where Louisa was raised and graduated from high school in 1970. In 1972, Louisa met the love of her life, David A. Kenney, as he returned from his military service. They relocated to Colebrook in the mid-70s where they made their home and raised their family. Louisa worked her entire career at The Balsams in the housekeeping department, the laundry, and finally the maintenance department from which she retired when the resort closed in 2011. She was known far and wide for her good calligraphy and her hand-labeling of thousands of maple syrup bottles for returning guests each year. She loved to crochet and she developed quite a ‘green thumb’ in her later years. She adored her cat and was known as a homebody. In their younger years, both Louisa and David loved to go snowmobiling. Louisa is survived by her three children: William ‘Billy’ Kenney of Colebrook, Davey Kenney of Colebrook and Kasilyn Kenney of South Paris, Me.; two brothers, James White of Churchville, N.Y., and Herbert White of Cortland, N.Y.; and four grandchildren, Mackenzie Kenney, Brayden Dixon, Edyn Tillotson, and Everly Kennison. She is predeceased by her beloved husband of 37 years, David, in 2009; two brothers, Reginald Hill and David White; and a sister, Mona Healy. Memorial calling hours will be held at the Jenkins & Newman Funeral Home in Colebrook on Saturday, July 30, from 2 to 4 p.m. A celebration of Louisa’s life will be held at a later date of which notice will be given. Expressions of sympathy in memory of Louisa may be made to the Two Rivers Ride for Cancer, P.O. Box 376, Colebrook, NH 03576.
