Carolyn A. Kemp of Huntingtown passed away March 25, 2023, at Anne Arundel Medical Center. Ms. Kemp was born in Washington, DC to Reinhard and Adelaide Celaya (Fox) Pohlen on July 17, 1940.

Ms. Kemp graduated from Strayer College and went to work for the Immigration and Naturalization Service shortly after graduation. She worked for that agency for almost 35 years.

She also established a craft group that met weekly for 14 years which made and donated items to sell at the Festival Gift Shop. Ms. Kemp took much pleasure in tutoring many adults in reading under the auspices of the Literacy Council. She became a member of the National Association of Active and Retired Federal Employees and served in an officer position for many years. She was an active member of Huntingtown United Methodist church and helped establish a social group for retired or soon to be retired members.

Dear Carolyn’s family, we are so very sorry and stunned by Carolyn’s passing. She had hoped for a good outcome to her knee surgery and looked to the future. Sometimes God’s plans are not our plans, but we are left in sorrow and yet we celebrate her life as a friend. And so there is peace at the last, God’s peace. Blessings, Marcia and Marijo Cosmas-Monnett

Bob and I will miss Carolyn and her friendly face at HUMC. We will also miss her playing Hand, Knee, and Foot with us every Thursday. If we weren’t finished playing by 3:30 she would give her cards to someone else to play so she could go home and take care of her beloved dogs. They took priority over finishing her card game. Carolyn was such a loving, sweet and gentle member of our church and we will miss her dearly.
