Nancy Kemp-Howard was born at Granite Downs Station in South Australia. She was removed from her family when she was around eight years old, along with her two brothers, and was sent to Oodnadatta, then transferred to Colebrook Home where she lived until she was sixteen. Kemp-Howard met her mother when she was older.

Kemp-Howard's story was recorded by the National Library of Australia for the Bringing Them Home oral history project and appeared in the associated publication Many Voices: Reflections on experiences of Indigenous child separation, edited by Doreen Mellor and Anna Haebich (2002).
