She was born in Quincy, IL in 1923 and adopted the nickname "Bobbie" as a young woman.
She traveled as a dancer all over the USA, touring with the Nick Castle Dancers. She performed at major nightclubs including the Florentine Gardens in Las Vegas, NV. Mrs. Kennett met her late husband, James Edward Kennett, owner and publisher of The Pelham Sun, in 1947. They settled down to live in Pelham and had two boys and two girls.
