TOMAH - Fern E. Kennedy, age 95, of Tomah, Wisconsin, passed away on Monday, January 17, 2022, at the Rolling Hills Rehabilitation Center in Sparta, Wisconsin. She was born May 28, 1926, to Elmer and Lillie (Schroeder) Damerow. From a very young age, Fern was a class act. She entered the 1st grade at age 4 and would graduate from high school at age 15. Fern was united in marriage to Kenneth Kennedy on May 28, 1950, at the First United Methodist Church in Tomah where they would remain faithful members. Together, they owned and operated Humbird Cheese in Tomah and Market Square Cheese in Lake Delton.
