My life was truly blessed for having "Grandma" Kay in my life. She lived right next door to my own Grandma, and took me in as one of her own grandkids. She was a wonderful woman, who taught us all what FAMILY meant. Her laugh was contagious, and her smile so warm. She will be missed. Our condolences, sympathy and love to the family she left behind. Aunt Tammy, Brandi and Bob...we love you.

I was fortunate to have worked with Kay at the Columbus Zoo. She always had a good word for everyone along with her smile. My life is better for having known Kay. My sympathy goes to her family, whom I know she loved so much.
