Barbara "Gloria" Semp, age 92, passed away Sunday, June 22, 2025 at Lakeview Extended Care in Harbor Beach, Michigan, She was born on July 7, 1932 in Warren, Michigan to Edna and Carl Schultz. She married her high school sweetheart, William "Bill" Semp on September 28, 1949 and enjoyed 69 years of marriage. They raised four children; Mike (Pam) of Harbor Beach, William (Corky) of Romeo, Carrie (Karl) Keifer of Troy, and Tammy (Jim) Coulter of Bath. She was a proud Grandma of 9 and Great Grandma of 19.
Gloria and Bill were part of the Romeo community for many years and were always together. She was the first Romeo High School Homecoming queen in 1947, kept an immaculate home, worked at the Children's Shop in Romeo and Richmond and also worked the elections for the Village of Romeo. They enjoyed sports of all kinds, and played golf and bowled together. Her lifelong smile and laugh were infectious and she never lost them, even with the challenges of Alzheimer's disease.
Funeral arrangements are being handled by the Ramsey Funeral Home in Harbor Beach with a private family graveside service planned for later this year. Memorials may be made to the Lakeside Extended Care facility at Harbor Beach Community Hospital. Memories can be shared at www.RamseyFH.com.
