Barbara Kays Obituary

June 30, 1951 - September 16, 2016 Beloved wife of David Anthony Kays; loving mother of Monica Kays, Elizabeth Weigle and Katherine Walsh; and devoted grandmother of Colette and Lucas Hugé, Benjamin Walsh and Dean Weigle. Barbara was a devout Catholic and active volunteer and served as a Girl Scout Leader and a catechism teacher on two continents. She and David lived in Highland Park (Los Angeles), California for twenty-four years before living in Louisiana, Mississippi, Saudi Arabia, France and Indiana. Her greatest joy was serving others and God. Barbara Kays will be deeply missed by her family and friends around the world. Her remains have been interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale, California.
