Kay Lord Obituary
Kay Ellen was known by many. She was always able to make a connection with whomever she came in contact with. Her patients, her peers, her friends & family were all so fond of her. Her humor and wit will be sorely missed by all who knew her. Kay Ellen is survived by her son Todd DiMario, her brother Edward Jr and his wife Barbara Lord, beloved nieces Julie Lord, Kristie Havens & husband Jared Havens. She also leaves behind her great nieces Kaelin & Isabella Havens. We would be remiss no to mention the "Rat Pack", her lifelong friends.
Aside from her parents, she is pre-deceased by her son Jamie DiMario. As per Kay's wishes, all services are private. Memorial donations in Kay's memory may be made to the Thursday Morning club where a scholarship is being established for a graduating senior who is pursuing a career in Nursing. Donations may be sent to Finnerty & Stevens, 426 Main Street, Great Barrington Ma, 01230

I was a fellow classmate of Kay's at St. Lukes many years ago. She always had a friendly smile for me and was so helpful as a fellow student nurse. Thinking of her family in this difficult time.

Eddie, Barb and family: Wow! how she looks so much like you Ed. I just saw her about a month ago and was surprised to see she had passed. I did not know her well but heard alot of good things about her when I worked at the Willowoods. I always envied how beautiful and full of life she was. She is from a loving family and may your hearts soon heal from the hurt and settle to peacefulness again. Vicky

oh golly...things I remember...our nursing edu trip to ? maybe albany...4 of us in one room...too funny. the hot tub at Patrice's with Kay's late arrival. A bit of froth. Meeting up with her at Prospect Lake park. so many fun things, way beyond nursing. What a woman, what a career, what a life, what a loss to us all.

To the Lord Family,
I was so saddened to hear of Kay’s passing. We spent 3 very memorable years together as classmates at SLSN. We laughed, cried, sweat out test grades and played some very competitive games of PITCH in our dorm. Kay was a delightful woman and a wonderful nurse. We kept in contact for many years and I always looked forward to seeing her at our reunions. This year would have been our 50th and unfortunately we were unable to get together due to Covid.
Please accept my sincerest condolences and May she rest in the peace of heaven forevermore. ❤
