Kay was a beautiful woman both on the inside and outside. Her hair was always just right and lipstick always applied. :) She had a kind and gentle demeanor that made her beautiful on the inside as well as the outside.

Uncle Gene, Angie, Kristina, and Family, so sorry to hear of the loss of Aunt Kay, she will be missed. I have wonderful childhood memories of Aunt Kay especially the Corvair not stopping! Or spending Friday nights at your house brushing hair and eating popcorn:).
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Aunt Kay was always the nicest, most sincere and kind person. She did whatever she could to make those around her happy. I remember so many times playing games and cards around the picnic style dinner table.
