One of Kay's happiest roles was that of "Auntie Kay" and she shared many wonderful memories with her nieces and nephews. Long phone calls and letter writing was a major part of her life.
When Kay wasn't busy watching her favorite game shows from the 70's or doing her crossword puzzles, you would find her outdoors in her yard feeding the birds and tending to her garden.
