Angela C. McDonald Kay

1929 - 2021

January 20, 1929 - June 12, 2021 Heaven gained a new angel when Angela Kay passed away on June 12, 2021, at the age of 92. Angela was a true matriarch – the head of a large and ever-growing family based in LA since the early 1900's. She was the proud Mother of 12, Grandmother of 30, and Great Grandmother of 8. Angela graduated from Mount Saint Mary's in 1951, where she met and married her husband of 62 years, Gay John Kay, in 1952. Together they had 12 children – all of whose names she could proudly recite in proper age order up until days before her passing: Timothy (Marianne), Vincent (Caliz), Regina (Bob), Bernadette, Damien (Melinda), Philip (Laurie), Thomas (Bobbi), Kenneth (Evelyn), Anthony, Teresa (Francesco), Stephanie and Brian (Danielle). After raising 11 of her 12 children, Angela completed her Master's degree in Education. She taught both Math and English in LAUSD for 20 years. While Angela's pride was in her immediate family circle, she shared her passion for teaching and her joyful outlook on life with every person she encountered. Angela was the 4th of 6 children to Winston and Josephine McDonald, and is survived by her youngest brother, Thomas Aloysius (Sue), along with a tribe of nieces and nephews on her maternal side. Memorial services are scheduled at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in LA: Rosary on 7/2, at 6pm, and Funeral Mass on 7/3, at 11am. Interment to follow at Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery in West LA.
