Alberta "Bo" Kennedy

Alberta “Bo” Krusik Kennedy, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, aunt and friend passed away unexpectedly on Monday, January 8, 2018, at home and entered her heavenly kingdom. Alberta was born on October 16, 1927, to Johannes and Mary Krusik in Marianna, Pennsylvania. On July 3, 1950 Bo married Daniel Kennedy, celebrating 67 years of marriage. Together they raised six daughters; Kathy (Don) Weber, Rosemary Fiscus, Suzan Kennedy, Karen (Tom Lomas), Gretchen (Mitch) Tarras and Tricia (Ed) DeGroat. Bo eagerly welcomed ten grandchildren Ryan (Ann), Laura (Carlos) and Liz (Adam) Phillips, Tommi Lynn (Tyler), Danny and Patrick (Taylor) Lomas, Eric Tarras (Kirsten), Emily, Adam and Cassie DeGroat and nine great grandchildren. Bo enjoyed sewing for her children and grandchildren, baking bread that was well known with family and neighbors, crossword puzzles, volunteering at St. Andrew Church/Christ the Good Shepherd and The First Presbyterian Church of Saginaw Food Pantry. Her energy was endless; jumping rope with her grandchildren, doing cart wheels and playing catch. Bo still enjoyed long walks and bike rides into her mid 80’s always ready for a ride on the Fred Meijer Trail in Grand Rapids and the Saginaw Valley Rail Trail. Bo was preceded in death by her parents, twelve siblings, several sisters and brothers in law, nieces and nephews, and her daughter, Suzan Kennedy. Bo is survived by one sister Renee Mancini, sister in law Frances Kennedy, numerous nieces and nephews, and several dear friends. Memorial Visitation will be held from 10:00 a.m. until the time of the Memorial Mass at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, January 27, 2018, at the St. Andrew Church site of Christ the Good Shepherd Catholic Church, 612 N. Michigan Avenue, Saginaw, MI 48602. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the First Presbyterian Church of Saginaw Food Pantry or the Emmaus House. For all of us you gave your best, now the time has come for you to rest. So go in peace, you’ve earned your sleep. Your love in our hearts, we will eternally keep.
