She was born on June 23,1927 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Harry and Stella Walls.

Kay was diligent with her studies in high school & enjoyed being a member of the Drum and Bugle Corp. She excelled in the art of shorthand which led to a highly regarded secretary position for Philco Corporation upon her graduation.
