Kay lived a life of service, giving tirelessly of her time to her church, Philadelphia Baptist Church of Connelly Springs, NC, as well as other charitable organizations such as Samaritan's Purse, local food banks, and meals on wheels. One of her favorite causes to support was with her crochet club, crocheting scarves, caps, and mittens for the underserved youth of the Appalachians, and other local children in need. In retirement, Kay loved to travel and organize family vacations with her sister, Jean, as well as annual beach or mountain vacations with her children and grandchildren. Kay's greatest joy was being a blessing to others, often with just a hug and a kind word. Kay had so many special friends, from all walks of her life, that were like family to her. Please know that you were all as special to her as she was to you. Kay will be interred at Philadelphia Baptist Church on Monday, August 10, 2020, in a private ceremony for immediate family. A Celebration of Her Life will be scheduled at a later date when travel and social gatherings are safer for all.
