On a crisp fall day, September 19, 2004, Kenneth W. Tenney reached out and touched the heavens and passed thru the veil to the sweet embrace of his eternal sweetheart Vivian.
Kenneth was born in Silver City, New Mexico, March 9, 1912 to William Arthur Tenney Jr. and Emila Cristina Westover.
He was the second child of eight siblings. He spent his happy childhood growing up in Casa Grande, Arizona and San Diego, California, where his father, William, was the Branch President of the San Diego California Mission for seventeen years.
Kenneth has a strong testimony of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and shared this testimony throughout his life. He served eight missions beginning in 1934 in the Central States Mission. During this time Kenneth had 3 assignments where he proselyted without purse or script for several months. Two missions were shared with his wife, Vivian, at the San Diego Mormon Battalion Visitors Center & the Los Angeles Temple.
He married his eternal companion, Vivian Allred from Salina Utah, on Christmas Day 1937. They were sealed in June 1938 at the Mesa Arizona Temple. They raised their family in San Diego, CA. Kenneth and Vivian were inseparable for 55 wonderful years until her death in 1993.
Kenneth loved the Gospel and served willingly, faithfully and with great humility in many capacities. He served as a Bishop, High Councilman, Elders Quorum President, Seventy Quorum President and Scoutmaster. For nearly 14 years with a selfless heart and a pillar of strength he shared his testimony with the military personnel of the United States Marine Corp and Navy in San Diego and Oceanside California as the Military Service Coordinator for the LDS Church.
Kenneth enjoyed taking his family camping, laboring in the garden, reading a good book and loved dabbling in his workshop. His family and many friends are recipients of his well crafted rings, knives, necklaces and clocks.
Kenneth will be remembered for his gentle kindness, his positive attitude and steadfast testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. All who knew him and Vivian, loved, respected and admired them. They had an infectious cheerful disposition that made anyone want to be with them, and we always had fun. Their devotion and lifetime of honoring their covenants to one another will always be a benchmark of example to their family and friends.
Kenneth, along with the entire family, express our deepest gratitude to his daughter, Lynn Adams, for her many years of loving service to him in Jerome, Idaho.
Kenneth and Vivians family will always be their greatest treasure!
Kenneth is survived by his three children, Lynn Adams (Jerry), Gayle Deauvono (Vic), and Stephen Tenney (Kittie), 21 grandchildren, 47 great-grandchildren, 8 great-great-grandchildren and 3 sisters.
A viewing will be held Thursday, September 23, 7-8 p.m. at the Farnsworth Mortuary on South Lincoln.
Funeral Services will be held Friday, September 24, 2004 at 1 p.m. at the Jerome 1st Ward, 825 E. Ave. B. in Jerome, Idaho.
Friends may call one hour prior to funeral services on Friday for additional viewing.
Interment and burial services on Saturday, September 25, 3:30 p.m. at the Orem City Cemetery, Utah.
