Born in Maidencreek Twp., she was the daughter of the late Paul A. and Minnie M. (Beck) Kemmerer. She was a member of Zion's Church, Windsor Twp.

(Gerhard) Harris, wife of John; four grandchildren: Nicholas and Connor Harris, and Ethan and Emily Gerhard; a step-granddaughter: Heather Beaver, wife of Ben and two great-granddaughters: Annie and Riley Withelder. She is also survived by three sisters: Betty M. (Kemmerer) Johns wife of Douglas, Dorothy E. (Kemmerer) Cohler wife of Dr. Alan; and Ruth E. (Kemmerer) Kaucher, wife of Charles. She is also survived by her best friend and loving companion: Dennis Clemens. She was predeceased by a brother: Ralph J. "Dewey" Kemmerer.
