Yarmouth- Terri H. Kemp formerly of Marblehead, Massachusetts passed away at Bay Square after a period of declining health on September 6, 2020. She was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan to Douglas and Carolyn Campbell on June 26, 1946. She later moved to Maine with her mother and was adopted by her mother’s second husband, John Porter Holmes.
She attended Falmouth schools and graduated from Waynflete School. She then went on the Centenary College in New Jersey. Upon graduation she began a long career in the retail clothing industry. For many years she designed the clothing catalogues for Carol Reed in North Conway, New Hampshire, before moving to New York City to work for the Tanner Corporation. In the mid-1980s she moved to Marblehead, Massachusetts and was employed by Johnny Appleseed developing their clothing catalogues. Throughout these years and after retiring she developed a great photographic expertise, as well as knitting very intricate sweaters that were true works of art.

Gilbert (Jeff), nephew John Porter Holmes III (Meghan), step sister Betsy Greenlaw, nephew Robert Greenlaw, and half siblings Katherine Maxwell (Birmingham, MI), Scott Campbell (Woodland, CA), Amy Anderson (Rockford, IL), and Chad Campbell (Ramona, CA).
