Beloved sister-in-law, aunt, and friend.

Kay was a very strong woman who had a tremendous love for her family. There isn’t anything she wouldn’t do for anyone and she never met a stranger. She and Dan loved to dance and even won jitterbug contests! Kay loved to shop and always knew how to get the best deals. She enjoyed time at the casinos even in her final weeks of life. Her loving heart and spunky spirit will be missed but never forgotten.

Funeral service is on Thursday, October 19, 2017 at 11 a.m. with interment to follow at Mt. Lebanon Cemetery.
