She is survived by her sisters, Paula, Nellie and Linda along with many nieces, nephews, brother and sister in laws and friends. Kay had a warmth to her, a comforting presence, love of simple meaningful moments, and would give a little pinch on the ear when you weren't behaving. Kay cherished singing, whether it was with the choir or a karaoke night. She enjoyed bowling, playing poker, an occasional spin on the slot machines, lunch with friends and spending time with her grandchildren. Her laughter, kindness and gentle nature touched everyone who knew her. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered with love.
