Kemp, Euphrosenia Shymoniak "Frances"     
1919 - 2005 
 
Euphrosenia (Frances) Shymoniak Kemp 
Mar. 28, 1919 - Dec. 28, 2005 

At Frans request, no services are scheduled and she would encourage those who 
would do so to contribute to a favorite charitable organization. She passed 
away held by daughter, Cindy, on Wednesday, December 28, 2005. Born March 28, 
1919 to immigrants, D'Mytro and Anastasia (Sawczshak) Shymoniak, Fran grew up 
in Ambridge, PA, the second youngest of 8 children. She was baptized and 
confirmed at Saints Peter and Paul Ukrainian Catholic Church. Fran graduated 
from Ambridge High School and worked as a secretary and a waitress until 
moving to California and settling in Bakersfield. For 20 years, Fran worked as 
a deputy clerk for the County of Kern in Municipal Court where she made many 
friends. She retired in 1984 content with her life's work. Her fondest hobby 
was square dancing and for many years she danced most evenings of the week 
with groups like Skirts and Flirts. She also participated with the Mavericks 
Club and at one time served as membership secretary. Fran was an avid and 
experienced traveler visiting Western and Eastern Europe, the British Isles, 
Australia, Asia, Africa, and South America. Fran spent her last years at 
Glenwood Gardens, first in assisted-living and later in the skilled nursing 
facility. During the years she struggled with the affects of several strokes, 
she received massage therapy from Robert Hurst. Their special friendship grew 
and Fran held Bob in genuinely high esteem and considered him as a son. 
Thursdays were Bob days. Heartfelt thanks to you, Bob, for you are a being of 
great loving-kindness and capable of such tenderness. Fran is survived by her 
dearest sister Katherine (Kay) Cook; her daughters and sons-in-law, Nancy 
Zassick (Frank deceased); Christy and David Beiber, and Cindy and Dwight 
Bowman. She is also survived by her granddaughters, Mary Louise, Veronica, 
Carrie and Karyn and grandsons Joseph, William and Kyle. Other survivors 
include her great-grandchildren and her many nieces and nephews all of whom 
were much loved. Fran is preceded in death by her husband, Yancey E. Kemp and 
her first husband and Nancy's father, Andy Hrusko. Also passing before her are 
her sisters, Mary, Anne, Julia, and brothers, Michael, Stevie, and John. May 
God bless everyone at Glenwood Gardens especially those who provided care to 
Fran in the skilled nursing facility.
