Mrs. Barbara 'Bobbie' Ann Kemp

December 12, 1940 - March 16, 2020

Born December 12, 1940 in Anniston, AL, Barbara Ann Crow (Bobbie, as her family knew her) was the oldest child of Kenneth and Ruth (Horton) Crow. She grew up living in Coldwater, Bynum, Glenaddie, and attended Oxford High School. In 1965 she married James T. Harrington, Sr. (Tommy), and they moved to Bell, CA where they began raising their children, Rachel and Eric. The family moved to Cedar Hill, TX in 1984 where they spent 23 years before Bobbie and Tommy finally returned to their home towns of Anniston and Oxford, AL in 2007. Tommy, her beloved husband of 43 years preceded her in death in 2009. She later married Kenneth Kemp of Oxford, AL. Above all, Bobbie had a heart dedicated to caring for and serving others. She was the oldest of 7 children and fondly recalled memories of carrying baby siblings on her hip most of the time. She spent over 20 years working in the banking industry and she loved the day-to-day interactions with her customers. Most of all, she loved being a Mother and a Granny. She loved her Lord Jesus and raised her children and grandchildren to know that with God anything is possible, and on March 16, 2020 she stepped into her eternal life in Heaven. She was preceded in death by her parents and brother Kenneth “Buddy” Crow (Jan) and is survived by her husband, Kenneth Kemp and her dear children: daughter Rachel Cassady and her husband, Koyne, of Midlothian, TX, and son Eric Harrington and his wife, Deirdre, of Winter Garden, FL, grandchildren: Spencer and Jackson Cassady, Hannah Harrington Couch (Michael), Audrey and Efrem Harrington. Other surviving family members include her siblings: Dennis Crow (Linda), Michael Crow (Sharron), Patti Phillips (Chester), Randy Crow (Julie), and Terri Crow Lewallen as well as many other precious nieces and nephews. A Celebration of Life memorial will be planned in the coming months.
