Obituary
Barry Lee Kemp, 65, formerly of Harmony Township, passed away on March 16, 2026, at Celebration Villa of Chippewa.
Born in Sewickley, Pa on June 29, 1960, he was the son of the late Albert and Evelyn (Bailey) Kemp. Barry worked for many years as a custodian at Ambridge Area High School, where he was known for his dedication and friendly presence among staff and students. Barry was an avid and devoted member of Calvary Fellowship Community Church in Ambridge, Pennsylvania. More than simply a member, he considered the church his family. He faithfully served the congregation for many years as the church organist, sharing his love of music and faith with all who attended.
In addition to his parents, Barry is preceded in death by his sister, Carol (Bruce) Smiley, and a cousin, Diane Frey.
He is survived by his cousins, Janet Kemp (Scott), Sylvia Kemp-Orino (Richard), Richard Cycholl, Gary Bailey (Jackie), Ken Bailey (Leanne), Peggy Comstock (Dale), Debbie Prosser (Ken), and numerous friends and church family members. Barry will be remembered for his strong faith, his love of music, and the kindness he shared with those around him.
Friends will be received on Sunday, March 22, from 2:00 p.m. until the time of service at 5:00 p.m. at Calvary Fellowship Community Church in Ambridge, 300 11th Street Ambridge Pa 15003, with Pastor Matthew Klenk officiating.

Dearest Barry!
You were my favorite member at the credit union and I looked forward seeing you come in each week! Your smile would brighten my day and I enjoyed hearing your stories. You were truly a good person and I will miss you. I know you will be playing that piano up in the heavens and it will be lovely.
