Kay was a very dedicated teacher and spent many hours mentoring her students.
Kay and Jeff were blessed with two children, Jay and Amy, whom she loved dearly. She cherished the many memories they gave her. Many of these memories were made throughout the summers of attending fairs and livestock shows with her family as Jay and Amy showed lambs and pigs in many local, state, and national events.
