Vale Anita Ellis Kemp
April 13, 2010
On Tuesday April 13 2010 I sadly attended the funeral service held for Anita, Ellis Kemp, beloved wife of Barry and mother to Vanessa & Stephen. Anita born 12/10/44 passed away on 7/4/10. She was a valued committee member of the Adelaide Outlaws Square Dance Club.
During her eulogy Barry read a letter Anita had penned especially for the service, in which she requested a square dance be performed in her memory. Her wishes were granted when a square formed up in the Heysen Chapel Centennial Park and danced to her favourite call, “Light the Candles”. Thank you James Read for calling the square and to the assembled dancers for fulfilling Anita’s wish. Rest in peace; Anita, you will be greatly missed

[...] The funeral was lovely and was a “standing room only” event – a testament to her far reaching influence. You can read a little more in the tribute in the on-line Square Dancing magazine here. [...]
