Together they endured many crises including being children during the depression and young women during WWII, and then living through the wars that came after including the Korean conflict, Vietnam, and two Gulf wars.

Aunt Kay was the last of her generation. She always wanted the best for us, offering love and concern from the time we were children until her final days in hospice. She also gave service to her community by volunteering in the St. Paul’s library and food pantry.

Aunt Kay had many talents. Taking up ballroom dancing in her 50’s, she was a competitive dancer until her mid 60’s. She loved dancing and she also loved music. Her favorite group was the Ink Spots. She played her piano until her 100th birthday, always learning new songs and even composing a couple. She was skilled in needle crafts including crochet, needlepoint, embroidery, and quilting. Aunt Kay always kept busy, and in her free time, she was an avid reader. Her favorite day, besides visiting with friends, was going to Barnes and Noble to select her next book to read.

Aunt Kay has a legacy of kindness and generosity. She wanted everyone to be secure and happy at heart. She wanted what was best for us in her family and worried for us and gave us kindness and love all her days until the very end of her life.
