Mary Verdonna Kenny

Mary “Donna” Verdonna Kenny, age 92, of Casper, Wyoming passed away November 2, 2024. She was born August 12, 1932, in Toledo, OH to Rollin and Mary (McGinley) Brunner.

 She moved her family to Casper in the early 1960s. She worked at Wyoming Stationery and Wyoming Medical Center. She retired from the hospital in 1992.

 She loved cooking for her grandson, Paul and his wife Amber. 

 For the past several years she wintered in Lake Havasu City, AZ with her daughter and son-in-law. She loved sitting on the porch watching the neighbors come and go. She enjoyed playing Bingo but loved gambling in Laughlin and going to the swap meet on Sundays. She would get up early to accompany her daughter to the pickle ball courts. She made lots of friends in the neighborhood that truly treated her like their second mom.

 She is survived by her daughter Carol Smith (Fred), daughter-in-law Karen Didion (Jerry) as well as her grandchildren Paul Smith (Amber), Andrew Didion, Adam Didion, great-grandchildren Brittany Smith, Kade Henry, Shyla Hoffman, Orion Smith, and Preslee Cagle, as well as her great-great grandchildren Damien Houser, Ariyan Agena, and Koen Cagle, sister Judith Glass, brother Carl Brunner and numerous nieces and nephews.
