Kay loved visiting with her family and friends Even when her health was failing, and she didn't feel good, she still wanted to see you, and always thanked you for calling or coming by. Before Roger and Kay were married, she worked at Richland Memorial Hospital in the medical records department. It was there that she made lifelong friendships that she cherished dearly; she loved her girl's". She loved her flowers and would spend hours in her yard tending to them. The other love of hers were her animals, from their long horn Speck, to their adopted Kiger Mustangs, Thelma and Louise, to their beloved dogs Tipper, Ricky, Andy 1, Andy 2, and the latest addition Ernie, and her rescue cat Lucy.

Kay's health started to fail a little over 6 years ago when she was diagnosed with lung cancer... but she never, ever gave up. She was a fighter till the end, even when all her complications took hold and wouldn't let go. Her fight is gone, but her spirit lives on. She was classy, funny, and quick with a comeback. She will be missed deeply. Rest in sweet peace until we meet again.

Kay's devout faith in the Lord guided her to graciously serve others. Kay served the community as an educator and librarian at Noble Elementary School. In her younger years she and her husband enjoyed racing go-karts, and they took pleasure in annual fishing vacations to Minnesota with their family. Kay took great joy in being with her family and watching her children, grandchildren and niece grow into lively and successful adults. Kay was an avid reader and found great joy in sharing her love of books with her family and students. One of her greatest pleasures was the enjoyment she experienced as she watched her children, grandchildren and nieces and nephew grow and achieve their goals, while also finding their passion in life.
