Barbara Jean Kempf

October 14, 1949 - June 11, 2018

Barbara Jean (Fette) Kempf of Bradley peacefully passed away on June 11, 2018 after a short illness. Barbara was born on October 14, 1949, to Victor and Eleanor (Haseman) Fette. She married Norton Kempf on March 15, 1973. Barbara worked for many years at Bradley Royale (River North) Nursing Home and enjoyed spending happy times with the people who lived there. Barbara is survived by her children Kelly Kempf (Ryan Shane,) Gregory Kempf, and Matthew Kempf, as well as her beloved grandchildren Amanda and Gavin Kempf-Kutemeier and Gregory Whitson-Kempf, her sister Bonnie Moeller, nieces Tina Perkins and Tracy Martinez, and many special family friends including Shannon Whitson, Olivia Johnson, and Denise Langrader. She was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, her brother-in-law Everett Moeller, and her precious dog Zuri. Barbara loved lilacs, to play games with her family, sit outside and read with her sister, flying kites, and was well known for her delicious potato salad. Her kindness and compassion made everyone feel a part of her family, and she will be missed by many. Cremation services were provided by Jensen Memorial Chapel. The family welcomes all who loved her to participate in a butterfly release to celebrate her life on Sunday, July 1st at 1:00 PM at the Hedge Apple Shelter at the Kankakee State Park.
