Eileen Dora DAVID

KEMP, Eileen Dora David and Susan Kemp announce with profound sadness the death of Eileen Dora Kemp, loving mother of David, mother-in-law to Susan, grandmother to Stephanie and Adrian and great grandmother of Ada Mae. Eileen died peacefully, surroun ded by her family, in accordance with her fervent wish to stay in her new Canadian home to the end. Her death came just two days after her 96th birthday and seven weeks after the death of her beloved Billy, to whom she was married for 71 years. The f amily would especially like to thank Kay Warr, Susan's mother, for her devotion to Eileen, and Laura of ComCare, Janet Brown of the VON, the two Marias and Christina. Thanks go to Dr. Hans Westenberg for his sensitivity and caring. Eileen was a remar kable woman. A primary school teacher of the old school, she cared passionately about education. Generations of children still remember how she touched their lives, at times, it seemed that everyone in the small Somerset town of Frome must have been taught by her. She was a Sunday School Teacher and Superintendent in the Methodist Church for fifty years and when, in May, she and Billy left for a new life in Canada, the church in Frome was packed to overflowing with well wishers. If ever there wa s a life spent in service of others, it was Eileen's. Utterly determined and generous to a fault, she was a deeply caring person and no one could have wished for a more loving mother. She is sadly mourned by all who ever knew her and we shall not see her like again. A memorial service will be held in England at a later date. The family requests there be no floral tributes but a donation, in her name, to any children's charity would be appreciated.
