It is with great sadness that the family of Leta May Kennedy of Kars NB, announce her passing on April 12, 2025 at the Sus Health Center at the age of 80.

Leta spent her childhood living in Mill Cove. Growing up with 5 brothers and 9 sisters, she was one of the younger siblings of the family. As a young 16 year old she met what would become the love of her life Gordon Kennedy, and 4 years later on August 21, 1965 she would marry and move to Kars where they built a house and began a family, living there for the duration of their life.
Early in her life she spent some time working at the Mill Cove Nursing Home, and following getting married she would look after her home and raise her family.
Leta loved cleaning and cooking and always had something to eat for anyone who dropped by, she loved playing card games like UNO and SkipBo and rarely lost at either of them. Leta loved being with her siblings and their families, she visited them often when she could.
