Lester Wayne Kinney, 90, passed away peacefully at home, born on October 20, 1935, to Basil and Maxine Kinney, Lester grew up in Illinois and proudly served his community and state in the Illinois National Guard. On April 30, 1965, he married Marilyn Mosely Bennet, in Paxton, Illinois.
For most of his career, Lester was a familiar and dependable face in Ford parts departments. Outside of work, he enjoyed building and flying model airplanes and he was happiest when tinkering on his workbench or finding creative solutions to fix anything around the house.
He is survived by his Children: David (Kori) Kinney of Urbana, IL, and Jennifer (Ghassan) Ksaibati of Riverview, FL, brother Larry Kinney and sister Linda Walker, five grandchildren and four step-grandchildren.
Lester has been reunited in peace with his beloved wife, Marilyn; his parents, Basil and Maxine; his infant daughter, Kathy; his infant brother, Ronald; and his brother, Gary Kinney.
He was deeply loved by his family, who will forever cherish his gentle spirit, and he will be profoundly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Private graveside services will be at Mt. Hope Cemetery, Sidney.
Memorials may be made to Sidney Fire Department or
Carle Hospice.
