    May you embrace being granted with such an amazing mother, that both family and community adored and may she embrace having such a loving, caring and supportive family.

    Can’t imagine a world without Norene. Can’t remember a world without Norene. Hope they are giving you lots of Ho-Ho’s up there in heaven! You gave so many of us a second place we could call home. Thank you for everything. You will be dearly missed. Love you.

    Such a fun-loving spirit her entire life. Always ready to welcome anyone into her home with a big smile and a mischievous laugh. I will continue to beep my horn in her honor whenever driving by the homestead on Whitney Road. Peace to you Aud, Mary Kay and Tim. Such devoted kids to your Mom. xxoo

    “Good things come in small packages.” Norene’s goodness (actually her greatness) was made up of warmth, humor, compassion, loyalty, openness, a positive outlook, and the most important ingredient (no not Genny lite or Cheez-its), was her deep love and devotion to her family. God blessed us all with Norene. May she be at peace as her family and friends come together to grieve and remember this wonderful woman.

    Mrs. K was certainly one of a kind, so kind and fun-loving. Half of Fairport has been to a party in the Kennelly home at some point in their lives and all were welcome.

    Your families are in our prayers. Your mom was a lifelong friend of my Dad and Mom and my family. We have many fond memories of her from the many VFW events, the auction sites and as the village Mayor’s wife. She will be missed by us and the entire Fairport community.
