Peggie (Singleton) Kenney

March 29, 1934 November 25, 2018

Peggie Kenney died peacefully on November 25 in Redwood City, CA of natural causes.

Peg was born and raised in Lakeview, OR, the youngest of John and Julia Singleton’s seven children. The friendships, love of outdoors, and sense of adventure (and mischief) she developed there continued throughout her life. She headed to Holy Names College in Oakland and, in her senior year, met Bill Kenney (pre-deceased) who became the love of her life and husband of 54 years.

They settled on the Peninsula and in addition to nurturing a family, she worked in a variety of jobs in the education, hospitality and legal professions. Peg prioritized her family, friends, theatre & the arts, hiking, travel, gardening – including decades as a volunteer at Filoli – and a good party filled with laugh- ter above all else. The warm hospitality she extended to her guests was legendary. Peg will be missed by her children Siobhan, Jim (Lynette) and Erin as well as grandchildren Liam and Liv Tissot and Julia and Max Kenney. She is also survived by sister-in-law Nancy Kenney Wright and numerous nieces and nephews.

The Kenneys extend their thanks to the staff of Gordon Manor for their care and support of Peggie. A memorial mass will be celebrated on December 5th at 11am at St. Pius Church, 1100 Woodside Rd, Redwood City, CA with reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to St. Anthony’s Padua Dining Room, 3500 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA 94025.
