Kay Powers

Remembering Kay Powers! One of the greatest Austinites! A legend! What a gift to have known her!

I met Kay in 2002 when I was brand new to Texas, fresh out of college, and scared to death to be living away from home(Florida) for the first time in my life. I met this wonderful angel in church....she took me under her wing like a daughter...I sang, she played the piano. I am so sad to hear about her and Ted. They were two beautiful souls...

I know this is a little late, but I just came across this site. I meet Kay when I was in the hospital in the late 60's. She saw my name and it was the same as hers, so she paid a visit to my room. We talked for a bit and she was extremely nice.I felt honored.

WE JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT TED AND KAY'S PASSING. WE KNEW THEM THRU FRIENDSHIP FORCE. WE ARE NOW IN L.A. BUT MET THEM WHEN WE LIVED IN KINGWOOD, TX. WE STAYED IN THEIR HOUSE AND TRAVELLED WITH THEM ON SEVERAL EXCHANGES. WONDERFUL WITTY FRIENDLY PEOPLE. HAVE A GOOD TRIP!!

Although a dog lover, I enjoyed the tales of Tomas and everything else that Kay Powers wrote, since I, too, had a little red car. I felt privileged to have met her while rehearsing and singing in the choir for the dedication of Emmaus Church. Godspeed, Kay, and my prayers and sympathy to all those she left behind.

KAY POWERS MORTAL REMAINS ARE ASHES BUT HER JOY FOR LIFE LIVES ON
an open letter To Friends and fans of Kay Powers:
Her memorial mass was held today , November 18, 2004 at 11AM at
Emmaus Catholic Church, with Father Mcabe presiding.
Two of her sons activily participated in music and song.
David played the flute and Randy Sang.

Many pictures and memorabila were displayed in the lobby showing many moments of her life, but we feel one picture...

I always looked forward to reading Kays articles. I too love cats.When I finished reading her articles I always had a smile on my face. I wish I could have met this wonderful lady, now I will have to wait.

Kay Powers is responsible for our daughter's birth."Listen Honey",in truth it was the twinkle in our eyes, but I believe that the Fertility Vase Kay let us borrow played a gigantic part.
Yes, I cried crocodile tears when I had to return it because the convention of newspaper people needed for their, (pardon me), boobie prize. Kay regretfully took it back, but with a twinkle in those gorgeous baby blues of hers, promised that I'd probably be getting my bundle of joy soon. Sure enough,...

Ted, thanks for sharing your lovely lady with us for so many years. Kay was a great friend at the paper, an hilarious contributor to the Gridiron, and a talented judge for the Anson Jones MD journalism awards. All of this in addition to the years of her columns that delighted us all.
