CHILLICOTHE: Catherine A. "Kay" Hayes, 94, died 5:25 p.m. September 27, 2013 at Traditions of Chillicothe following a brief illness.

She was born June 13th, 1919 to the late John Martin Iuler and Mary Ophelia Armstrong Iuler. On October 9, 1942, she married Orson L. Hayes in New Rochelle, New York. He died on January 25, 1997.

She is survived by two sons, John O. Hayes and his wife Kathy, and James I. Hayes, all of Chillicothe; one brother, Donald E. Iuler and his wife Ruth of Columbus, Ohio, and their sons Robert (Ruth) Iuler of Tennessee and Steve (Lisa) Iuler of Columbus, Ohio and numerous other nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by a brother, Richard Iuler.

Catherine was also "Grandma Kay" to Kathy's large, extended Family, and she will be especially missed by Rachael, Kathryn and Tommy Bolte.

Catherine graduated from Chillicothe High School in 1937 and then went to Business School in Columbus, Ohio. She was employed by the Ohio Fuel Gas Company for a number of years. She later was a co-owner of the Brass Bell gift shop with her son John. But her favorite job of all was working at M.
