Tribute to Allison Kennedy

Marriage Ambassdor ~ Three to Get Married Speaker

Allison In Loving Memory Instagram Post

It is with deepest sorrow that we share the news of the death of a beloved friend and dedicated volunteer at Our Lady of Bethesda Retreat Center, Allison Kennedy.

We met Allison in 2015 when she attended the Three to Get Married Marriage Preparation Program with her future husband, Brian. We grew to know and love them as a couple and a family as they returned to participate and then volunteer at OLB. First as greeters and then they joined the Marriage Prep Speaker Team, sharing their story with other couples. They also helped us create and steer programs for newly married couples, such as The Newlywed Program and Cana Uncorked DC.

Allison’s generous enthusiasm for living life and marriage to the fullest potential gave inspiration to many of the couples we serve through our marriage programs. It has been a privilege and a pleasure to accompany Allison and Brian through the joys and challenges of married life, and we are edified by their constant witness of striving for a healthy, happy and holy marriage.

In addition to her parents, grandparents and large extended family, Allison leaves behind her loving husband, Brian, and their treasured sons, Christopher (Kit) and Callahan (Cal). She was a dear friend to many within the OLB community of staff and volunteers and her lively and generous presence will be greatly missed.

We count your prayers at this time for the respose of her soul, and for consolation upon her family.

The family has confirmed a day for the funeral and visitation and set up a go-fund-me for the boy’s future education.
