She was a very bright and talented young woman. She loved reading and that hobby stayed with her throughout life. Kay devoted her life to her faith and continued living in the light of God throughout her entire life.
Kay cherished her three children, William "Billy" Carlson, Jr. (who preceded her in death), Mark Carlson (Chris), and Colleen Carlson-Nappi. Her greatest joys were her three grandchildren and one great grandchild, Billy's daughter Krystal Carlson, who had Kay's great grandchild Maci Overnyer and Colleen Carlson-Nappi who had two daughters Juliette Nappi and Danielle Nappi.
