She moved to Northern Virginia in 1956, living in various locations for the past 59 years. The Scourbys were one of the founding families of St. Katherine's Greek Orthodox Church where they were active members. Kay was a member of the Springfield Art Guild and an accomplished artist, winning numerous awards at local art shows. She used her talent working as an interior design consultant for many years.
