Obituary for Mary "Betty" Kenyon

Mary "Betty" Kenyon, 85 of Marcellus passed away peacefully at home on Saturday.
Born and raised in Canada, Betty moved to the US after receiving her Nursing degree from Guelph
Hospital. She married her husband a few years later and they relocated to Marcellus in 1959.
Betty was a RN for 34 years and loved caring for patients. She worked at Syracuse General
in the Surgical Recovery Unit and later as the ER head nurse until she left in 1964
to raise her family. She went back to work at Van Dyne Nursing Home several years later where
she stayed until she retired in 1985. Betty was a deacon and long time member of the
Marcellus First Presbyterian Church.

Betty was a devoted wife and mother and had a passion for life and for helping others. She was
loved by all those that knew her. She cherished spending time with family and friends and after
retiring, enjoyed traveling with her husband, relaxing at their camp in the Adirondacks, and
spending the winter months in Florida. Betty loved sewing and crafts and was a member of the
Marcellus Grange 'Ugly Quilters' who make quilts for those in need.

She was predeceased by her husband of 52 years, Robert B. Kenyon in 2005.
Surviving are a son, Philip (Linda) Kenyon of Syracuse; 3 sisters and 2 brothers, Jean (Bob) Munson, Joan (Reg) LaCroix, Donna (Don) Lesack, Bob (Paula) Bacon of Ontario, CA and Dennis (Lorna) Bacon of British Columbia, CA; 13 nieces and nephews, many loving friends and neighbors and her grand-dog Rufus.

The family would like to express sincere thanks to Hospice of CNY, the staff at Hematology Oncology Assoc. of CNY, friends and neighbors for making Betty feel loved and well cared for during her illness.
