Kay Lent

A year and a day: April 29, 2021
I met Ed and Kay in the 1990 in Las Cruces. NM.
Such gentle souls. Loved both.

I first met Kay and Ed when I was 14. My mom and I were arguing about how anti-social I was while in line at a Starbucks. At the time, I was a typical teenager. Frustrated about everything with little ability to change the things around me. I vaguely remember telling my mom that I wished I just had better friends. Like in a movie, while I was talking she spotted Kay and Ed playing chess in the corner. She tuned me out, walked up to them and asked if they wanted to teach me chess once a...

My deepest condolences for Kay's Family and friends. She was an inspiration, mentor and friend to many of us. I last saw Kay in September as agreed to meet for coffee down town El Paso, and she was full of smiles and words of wisdom. I will miss our talks, but I will hold on to her words or wisdom and her advice.

We met at the 7 am daily mass at St Patricks cathedral years ago. She was a soft-spoken friendly woman, always very pleasant and a good listener. Wed sometimes walk out together and share. I was hoping to run into her as soon as the quarantine ended! Enjoy every little piece of heaven you brought here! God delights in your life!

Kay and I entered the Maryknoll Sisters on December 30, 1958 in Valley Park, Missouri. Many years later, we both left Maryknoll and although she lived in El Paso and I in Boston and later in Brooklyn, we remained friends. I could recount many funny, light hearted adventures we had, and while that certainly was a large part of Kay, it was not, in my estimation, what defined her loving nature, positive, seeing the good in everyone and forgiving everything else. She did not take herself...

Kay, it was an Honor & Unique privilege to have worked with you at Hotel Dieu Hospital & again at Providence Memorial Hospital!!!! You were such a Fantastic Social Worker and the patients really appreciated you. That smile and simple laugh was unique to you!!!! Rest in God's arms, dear friend! Lucy Campos, RN, BSN!

Her admirable energy and commitment to be involved in the work of the Catholic Church and witness His love for all of us will make me remember her lovingly until we meet again.

We first met in Valley Park in 1958, then we met again in 1968, this time in Austin, Texas. Consu said we should get together as after all, we both lived in TEXAS. (El Paso and San Antonio are about 600 miles apart, Consu!!) We did so many things together, husbands were great friends, two sons each in the same grades and same schools, CCD classes, graduations. We had Christmas morning buffet at your home for many years. We lived a block away from each other.
When we left...
