Barbara M. (Erickson) Kennedy
Obituary
On February 3,2022 Barbara Kennedy, age 82, passed away peacefully in her sleep. Barbara was born on December 17, 1939 to Thurman and Elizabeth Erickson.
Barbara always had a love of the outdoors and sports. From riding horses with her childhood friend to coaching her sons teams to playing tennis later in life. This love for the outdoors and warm weather led her to move to Hawaii after her children had grown. There she enjoyed outrigger canoeing and tennis. She spent many nights on her lanai with her best friend Chris Wheeler having a glass of wine, solving the world's problems. After 10+ years she decided to move back to Morgan Hill to be closer to family. She was married and widowed twice.
She is survived by her sons Scott (Kellie), Patrick (Jan), Tim (Gerrie) Dan (Amanda), grandchildren Madison, Shelby, Roya, Annemiek and great grandchild, Dakota.
She will be missed by family and friends. In accordance with her wishes, a private memorial service will be held. In lieu of flowers, please donate to your local animal shelter.
