Jean M. Kinney
1927-2026
It is with deep sadness that our family announces the passing of Jean Marilyn Kinney of Florenceville-Bristol which occurred on Thursday, March 12, 2026, at the Riverview Manor in Bath, NB. Jean was born on February 23, 1927, in Winthrop, Maine to Lemuel and Edith (Ritchie) Kinney. At an early age, the family moved to Greenfield, NB. Jean attended school in Greenfield and graduated from Florenceville High School. She attended Vocational School in Woodstock and worked for the Department of Agriculture in Florenceville, NB for 43 years.
Jean is the last surviving member of her immediate family. She was predeceased by her parents, Lemuel and Edith (Ritchie) Kinney, infant sister, Margaret, and aunt, Nellie Ritchie.
Jean is survived by her god … daughter, Nancy McAuley (Gordon), close cousins- Kaye Parker, Brenda Keenan (Neil), Brent Bartley (Faye), Janet Gillis (Mike), and special friends.
Jean was a dedicated and faithful member of Saint Barnabas Anglican Church, Greenfield, NB and the Church of the Good Shepherd, Florenceville, NB. At the early age of 13, she began playing the organ in church and continued playing as church organist until the age of 96. Her most recent time at the piano was in January at the Riverview Manor. She was involved in many church activities- Saint Barnabas Church Guild, Anglican Church Women, Vestry, Synod, Church Choir, and Bible Study. Over the years, Jean volunteered at the Riverview Manor and reading to young children at Crafty Corner Daycare in Bristol.
Our family wishes to extend our sincere gratitude to the staff of Riverview Manor for all their love, support and outstanding care they provided for Jean. We also wish to thank Dr. Bruce Lockhart for his care and compassion.
