She was born Feb. 15, 1908, in Somerville, Mass., the daughter of Guy C. and Emma (Farnell) Davis.
She was predeceased by her husband, Samuel C. Kemp; and her two sons, John N. Kemp and Richard A. Kemp.
She is survived by her two half brothers, Richard W. Davis of Carver, Mass., and John C. Davis of New Braintree, Mass.; one half sister, Carol A. Black of Oakham, Mass.; nieces, Mary Jane (Kemp) Bumap of Leominster, Mass., and Myra (Kemp) Welch of Walpole; nephew, Ralph Kemp Jr., Barbara Reddy and Marilyn Taylor of Isle of Palms, S.C.; great niece, Donna Severance of Lunenburg Mass.; and a great-nephew, Gary Kemp of Leominster, Mass.

She was well known for the many years she worked at Gerini's Store in Hillsboro. She was a great historian and would put smiles on everyone's face, as she would tell the stories of the golden days of Hillsboro.
Gardening and her cats brought her great joy.
