Alice Thurleen Kennedy

In the evening hours of Wednesday, February 3, 2016, Alice Thurleen Kennedy, 64, lost her final battle with ovarian cancer. Angels await one of their own beautiful immortal souls coming into the light. Luminous transcendent joyous affirmation of life she is gone to be with us forever. Born October 9, 1951, in the sign of Libra, fourth child of Paul McGee Kennedy and Lola Herring Kennedy, Alice was a talented artist and an exceptional teacher. She graduated with honors from Fayetteville High School, and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine Arts from the University of Arkansas, with minor in Education. She is survived by brothers, Lewis Kennedy and Paul McGee Kennedy Jr.; sister, Ann Warren; husband, James Michael Langford. Alice lived by the Golden Rule; a generous and loyal friend, a formidable adversary. Well-read, widely-traveled, she had a gift for finding humor and humanity in every situation; battling terminal cancer with a sense of her own beauty grace and dignity in the face of insurmountable odds and the vastness of medical ignorance; fighting disease with yoga laughter and organic vegetables, surrounded by friends and family. Services will be held at Mount Pleasant Cemetery, near Guy in Faulkner County, Saturday, February 6, 1 p.m.; and at Bell Gable Chapel, near Fayetteville, February 13, 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please donate to a charitable organization with an holistic or humanitarian objective. Plant flowers. Teach your children well teach them the constellations planets phases of the moon; so that they will know when to plant when to harvest why we celebrate life and death as a cycle. We are all part of that great kaleidoscopic astral wheel. Let's roll. Knowing that you would return Filled with the wildness of nature And folding your dreams about you turn Rising to the light I moved quietly through the morning Fog and deep shadows Trying without words to tell you I am not a hunter I am a seeker like yourself Knowing also our strongest bond is The distance between us Welcome home.
