Extended Family
Several members of the extended Kennon family served in public office. John T. Kennon, Jr., or Sonny Kennon (1928–2005), son of John T. Kennon, Sr. (Governor Kennon's first cousin) served as the elected ward marshal of Webster Parish and in 1971 ran unsuccessfully for Webster Parish sheriff against O.H. Haynes, Jr. John T. Kennon's sister was Josephine Kennon Williams (1925–2009), wife of Bert David Williams, Sr. (1917-2011), a pharmacist and co-owner of the former City Drugs in Minden. The Williamses' daughter, the former Barbara Jo Williams (born 1948), is married to retired state District Judge Jim Wiley of Winnfield. Their daughter, Anastasia Wiley, is also a judge in Winnfield.
In 2001, Kennon was posthumously inducted into the Louisiana Political Museum and Hall of Fame in Winnfield.
