Born March 15, 1929, in Twin Rocks, PA, to the Late Oliver Roy Wilson and Anna Gertrude (Willman) Wilson. Aldamae was devoted to serving the Lord. In her teen years, she and her sister, Evelyn, traveled the East Coast as Evangelistic Singers. While in Oxford, MD, she met the love of her life, William Henry Kennedy, whom she married on February 24, 1950. They made their home on Kirby Wharf Farm in Trappe, MD. They moved to Preston, MD, then finally to Easton, MD. They served the Lord together, complimenting each others’ gifts, for 39 years. Henry passed away on July 23, 1989. They attended the Trappe Pilgrim Holiness Church, the Easton Church of the Nazarene, and the Bethlehem Wesleyan Church, where Aldamae played the piano, taught, and sang. Aldamae worked at Trappe Packing, Whitmans Electronics, Jackson Fusee, retired from Waverly Press Proof Reading Dept, sat with children at the YMCA, and was a private sitter for children and Ms. Helen Matthews. Aldamae loved children and, throughout her life, you would find her serving the children through church programs, VBS, creating crafts, singing, and teaching. She enjoyed reading and memorizing the Bible, playing the piano and accordion, singing, crocheting, knitting, doing puzzles. She had a ceramic business that she used for God’s work. In her last year, she learned to do puzzles on the computer. Aldamae loved spending time with her grandchildren, teaching them, especially, to love the Lord. She enjoyed watching tennis, bowling, ladies basketball, ladies softball, and the Orioles, as her nickname in the family was Brooksie, for Brooks Robinson. She enjoyed family reunions.
