Hartsville, S.C.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Mrs. Sandra Kemp age 71. Mrs. Kemp passed away December 13, 2025, at Carolina Pines RMC with her loving family by her side.

Funeral services will be held Wednesday December 17 at 11:00 am at the Chapel Norton Funeral Home. Rev. James Robbins will officiate. Burial will be in the Delivarance Tabernacle Cemetery, 292 Mount Zion Road, Camden, S.C.  Visitation will be one hour prior to the service at the funeral home.

Sandy was born in Danville, Arkansas a daughter of the late Woodrow Willard Holt and Reba Faye George Holt. Sandy was a warm, nurturing, and incredibly sweet soul whose kindness was felt by everyone she met. Generous and accepting, she truly never met a stranger----only friends she hadn't yet talked to. She loved to cook and had a well-known sweet tooth, often spending hours standing in "her corner" of the kitchen, where so many memories were made. Even when she wasn't at home, she had a way of claiming a corner wherever she went, making any space feel welcoming and familiar. Her love, warmth, beauty and gentle spirit will be deeply missed and forever cherished.

Surviving is her husband, Lester Timothy Kemp "Tim", Hartsville, S.C.; her children, Charles W. Long II "Billy", Hartsville, S.C.; Lindsay Long Loignon (Husband Michael, Daughter Eleanor, Son William), Mount Pleasant, S.C., Melaine Grace Marie Kemp (deceased), Angela Kemp Basilotto "Angie" (husband Mike, son Lincoln), Dillsburg, PA., one son, Lester Timothy Kemp II "Tim".
