NANCY (SPERRY) KEMP

CORNWALL — Nancy (Sperry) Kemp, 84, of Cornwall, Vt., passed away, Jan. 18, 2024, following a brief illness.

Nancy was born on July 12, 1939, in Middlebury, Vt., to the late, Winford and A. Joyce (Bull) Sperry. She took pride in being a Cornwall farm girl — making her residence on a parcel of land that was in the family for many generations — and also in being known as The Cookie Lady, supplying homemade cookies and donuts in the food booth at Tiger football games for almost 20 years.

She was a graduate of Middlebury High School, class of 1957, a member of the Cornwall Congregational Church, VFW Aux. and the American Legion Aux. She is predeceased by her husband, Paul Kemp and her son, Larry.

She leaves behind her daughter, Terry (Kemp) Ringey and husband Marc, and grandchildren Marci (Ringey) Lambert and husband Bradle, and Kirk and wife Lauren (Barber-Smith) Ringey all of Cornwall. She was also “Gigi” to great-grandchildren Marley, Koen and Boone. She also leaves behind a special friend Davis Bodette Sr. of East Middlebury.

Nancy loved her yearly visits to Maine and the ocean. Please think of her the next time you are at the ocean.

A graveside service will be held in the spring. Donations in Nancy’s name may be made to Helen Porter Healthcare & Rehab Center Activities Fund. Services are in the care of Sanderson-Ducharme Funeral Home 117 South Main St. Middlebury, VT. 05753. ◊
