Kenneth "Kenny" Paul Ackerman

Kenneth Paul Ackerman, age 62, passed away peacefully on Sunday, March 15, 2020. Born Easter Sunday morning, April 21, 1957, Kenny was the 5th of seven children of Joseph F. and Shirley W. Ackerman. He graduated from Immaculate Heart of Mary grade school and from Brandywine High School. He worked for W.E. Cleaver & Sons before enlisting in the U.S. Army from which he received an honorable discharge in 1981.

Kenny worked for Everfast Mills until they went out of business. He was employed by The Concord Mall and worked for The Methodist Country House before he became totally disabled.

Kenny lived the last 6 years of his life at the Delaware Veterans Home in Milford, DE. It would be impossible to clearly tell of the beautiful, meticulous, and loving care he received there. The years that he lived at Del Vets were among the happiest years of his life and no words of ours can possibly thank the amazing staff for the joy and love they freely extended to Kenny during his blessed time with them.
