She is survived by her husband, four children, ten grandchildren and nieces and nephews. Doodie was born and raised in Philadelphia and graduated from Little Flower H.S. She worked as an Admin.

Doodie was married 57 years to Alfred Sr. (Fred) Schempp and raised four children together; Alfred Jr. “Fred” (Joy), Jamison “Jamie” (Ginny), Daniel “Dan” (Sarah) and Paige (Paul) Davis and had ten grandchildren; Sierra, Kylie, Jamison, Sheridan, Mackenzie, Christian, Jansen, Carson, Daniel and Kelsey. Doodie was a beloved wife, mother, mother in law, and treasured Mom Mom. She dedicated her life to her family. She was a breast cancer survivor. She enjoyed attending her kid’s events, hosting celebrations and taking her grandchildren on dates or just spending time with them. She held dear her yearly summer shore trips with her close family.
Doodie was an avid reader, movie watcher, walker and enjoyed decorating and making crafts. She enjoyed friends; whether having lunch or just caring for others. She will be missed by so many. The family will be having a private memorial.
Very sorry for your loss. I imagine her family brought her great job throughout her life.
Yes she did. She worked tirelessly with a great spirit to bring happiness and love to everyone she met.
I am so sorry to hear about Doodie’s passing. She was a genuinely nice person who I always looked forward to seeing and chatting with each day. When I started working at Arbour Square she was so kind to me and would always tell me that I was doing a great job. We shared lots of laughs and even a “Doodie Dance” or two.
I am so thankful that our paths crossed and I’m blessed that I got to know Doodie. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Paula (at Arbour Square)

Hi James (Jim) – It is too bad the Nahill cousins did not connect and spend time together. You are welcome to call me and I can tell you a little about her family. Thank you for writing and I hope we can connect. Doodie’s husband Fred, my father, has MS and is not well. Take care.
