Kay was an awesome cook, enjoyed being on the water, and was known for her amazing green thumb. Her smile was infectious and she never met a stranger.

She was the glue that held us together and her loving, caring, comical spirit will remain with us forever and guide us going forward.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Claiborne John Duhon and Julia Clay Duhon, and her brother, C.J. Duhon, Jr.

Duhon III of Mary Esther, FL; and numerous other relatives and many friends.
