KAY THOMPSON Kay Ellice Thompson, 52, a bookkeeper, of North Las Vegas, passed away Sept. 19, 2010. She was born Dec. 30, 1957, in Davenport, Iowa, and was a 30-year resident of Nevada.

She was preceded in death by her father, John Kyle in 1994; and grandson, Lucas Ruefer in 2010. Kay is survived by her husband, Mark Thompson; son, Kyle Ruefer of North Las Vegas; sisters, Peg Wheeler (Douglas) of Davenport, and Julie of Mesa, Ariz.; brother, Ken Kyle (Lisa) of Davenport; mother, Rita Kyle of Mesa; and brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews.
