Kay Gifford Obituary
Kay was one who always had a joke to lighten the room. Her love for each of her grandchildren couldn't be measured. There was nothing more she would rather do than spend every day with them.
If she wasn't making them food, having tea parties, or spoiling them rotten, you could find her reading a book, playing spades, worrying too much about others, or eating pretzels.
She enjoyed making sure everyone was taken care of and happy. She was patient and most importantly giving. She loved music and had the voice of an angel. Her family was always the most important thing to her. She has now joined her daddy in Heaven. She will be missed by many, but never forgotten.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Tommy and Regina Boston.
Kay is survived by her husband Darren Gifford; daughter Heather Morris and Mike Noah, son Kyle Gifford and Cassidy Gifford; grandchildren Kylie Morris, Rissa Noah, Emma Morris, Zoey Morris, Miah Gifford and Bash Gifford.
A celebration of life will be at noon Sunday, July 24, at Kathy's Pasta in Bolivar. The celebration and remembrance will take place in the west portion of the restaurant, connected to Savour.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
