Arabella Kathline Kemp, born to Kacey Kemp and Skye Gray on November 29, 2022, in Springfield, Missouri, passed away on the morning of January 19, 2023. While she was only 7 weeks old, she brought an abundance of love and happiness to her family during her time on this earth.
Arabella made an impact on everyone she came in contact with. She enjoyed being cuddled with loved ones and smiled generously. Every family member remarked on how soft and gentle her cry was. She was not sleeping through the night because she wanted to spend every moment she could with her mom and dad. She did not like being naked and would make sure to let everyone within earshot know how she felt. When she wasn’t eating (her favorite pastime), she loved spending time with her sister. It made her happy when Kynlee would lay down with and comfort her. She smiled when Kynlee would “boop” her nose. A sister’s love that will always be cherished.
Arabella is survived by her parents, Kacey and Skye, and her sister, Kynlee; grandparents, Billy & Michelle Gray, David Kemp; great grandparents: Carol Kemp, Shirley Hahn; aunts and uncles, Robert Gray and family, Autumn Gray and family, Kyle Gray and family, Kelsey Bucci and family, Katelin Kemp and family, David Kemp Jr. and family; many cousins and numerous other loved ones. She is preceded in death by grandmother, Dollie Guinn; great grandparents, Robert Hahn, Betty Smith.
“I will forever hold you in my heart, until I can hold you in heaven.”
Visitation for Arabella will be Friday, January 27, 2023, 1:00PM at Greenlawn Funeral North Location, followed by a Graveside service at 2:00PM at Greenlawn Memorial Gardens Cemetery.
