Nelda Irene Kennedy
In the early hours of July 22 a tiny woman with a big heart slipped away to begin her next great adventure. Nelda Irene Rebhahn Hout Kennedy was born August 1, 1927 in Barber, to George Rebhahn and Frieda Haase Rebhahn. They soon moved to Kinsey where she grew up working hard in the sugar beet, corn and potato fields alongside her dad, and picking up agates as she played beside the river. She faced a tough life, but to the end she did it bravely — with her chin up and with a smile.
