Joan Marie Kennedy Obituary
We bid farewell to Joan Marie Kennedy of Helena, Montana, whose journey of life gracefully concluded on March 27, 2026 at the age of 82. Joan touched countless lives with warmth and kindness, leaving behind cherished memories that will forever echo in hearts. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Joan Marie Kennedy to pay them a last tribute.
She was predeceased by: her parents, Thomas H. Carter and Imelda Carter. She is survived by: her husband Jim; her daughters, Deborah L. Kennedy (Cam Gregg) of Woodinville, WA and Lisa K. Gresens (Jerry) of Clancy, MT; her grandchildren, Brendan Flynn (Cassie) of Carnation, WA and Riley Flynn (Emma) of Bothell, WA; her great grandchildren, Hadley, Kaden and Hudson Flynn; her sisters, Patricia Presnell and Camille Gardner (Neil); her nephews, Tony Stryker (Holly) and Neil Gardner (Mary); and her niece Irene Clark (James).
But drawing on that perseverance, she continued to enjoy reading fiction, cross stitching, genealogy, listening to music and tending to her home until she was unable to do so due to the devastating effects of Alzheimer's.
