Obituary: Lorna Eloise Kemp, 19??-2009
Lorna Eloise (nee Wever) Kemp passed away suddenly June 29, 2009, in High Prairie at the age of 88 years.
She is sadly missed by: her children, Marilyn (Lyle) Stewart; Richard Kemp; Roger (Nina) Kemp, all of High Prairie; and Maureen (David) Murphy of Forest, Ont.; 12 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren; and one brother, Anson Wever, of Sarnia, Ont.
She was predeceased by: her husband of 60 years, Albin, in 2001; and sister Evelyn Sparling in 2007.
The funeral was held in the High Prairie United Church and the burial in McCue Cemetery Saturday, July 4, 2009.
Lorna was very active in Red Cross work, especially during World War II, the Women’s Institute, and women’s associations and choirs of North Plympton and then Forest United Church.
With three of their four children in the bee business out west, Lorna and Albin moved from Forest to High Prairie in 1973. Her church and community were very important to her and her active involvement continued all her life. Lorna loved being the “Grand Central Station” for her family and was a wonderful hostess. She welcomed visitors and was always able to serve a delicious meal to unexpected company.
She was a high energy person who always had an ongoing project, be it knitting, quilting, China painting, baking or gardening. For many years she enjoyed playing bridge with friends and family. Traveling with her family was another of her great pleasures. Her life evolved around her home and family and she savoured this joy to the very end.
