Obituary: Dolores “Lorry” L. Kemble

Sept. 22, 1929 – Nov. 26, 2022

Dolores “Lorry” L. Kemble, 93, of Sister Bay and formerly of Lombard, Illinois, died at Scandia Village in Sister Bay.

Lorry was born in Melrose Park, Illinois, to Fred and Julia (Stang) Hardt. Following high school, she worked for the VA until 1954, when she started her family. On May 20, 1950, she married LeRoy W. Kemble in Bellwood, Illinois. 

Lorry enjoyed vacations and family trips, and she loved being near the water, waterskiing, music, concerts, theater, and spending time with friends and family. She took pleasure in cooking and going out to eat with family and friends, and living in Door County, which allowed her to be near the water. She was a member of First Baptist Church in Sister Bay.

Surviving family includes her two children, Janet L. Kemble of Sister Bay, and Jeffrey H. Kemble of Colorado.

Preceding her in death were her parents, Fred and Julia Hardt; husband, LeRoy Kemble; an infant child; four siblings, Ruth Zanger, Adolf “Bud” Hardt, Harold Hardt (died in battle during WWII), and Fritzy Hardt; and LeRoy’s parents, Walter and Ethel Kemble.

Services are pending at this time.
