Aunt Nancy was my favorite aunt. When my dad died when I was 5 years old. My mom remarried and kept us away from the Kemp side of the family. They would go on vacations without the kids. We would get shipped off to other family members. Several summers we stayed at our grand parents. My grandma Betty would sneak us over to see Aunt Nancy, Uncle Dale Peggy and Allen. I felt more at home with them than I did in our own house. They were all so great to us. I will miss not being able to see her. I will never forget how wonderful she is.

June 7, 2024 We were so sorry to hear of Nancy's passing. She was a very special cousin, and backbone of our family reunions for so many years! I don't recall ever seeing Nancy without that beautiful, welcoming smile of hers! She had a heart of gold; & spent her life serving God and helping others. Nancy was truly a blessing to everyone who had the privilege of knowing her; & she will be greatly missed. With our love and sympathy, Jim, Sue, Sheryl, & all the family of John & Opal Clark
