Kay Dosterschill Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 30, 2018.
Kay Cutrell Kleiner Dosterschill, age 70, went to be with the Lord on the morning of November 29, 2018. Born October 24, 1948 in Dallas, Texas, she was the daughter of William "Bill" Kleiner and Ruth Cutrell Kleiner. Kay grew up attending First Baptist Church of Dallas with her parents were she was active in the youth and Chapel Choir programs. After graduating from Thomas Jefferson High School in Dallas, she worked in missions with Wycliff Bible Translators in South America, and after her time abroad returned to attend college at The University of Texas at Arlington.
On May 25, 1973 she married W. Lloyd Dosterschill, Jr. and were blessed to have two daughters, Diana and Helen. While they raised their daughters in Dallas, Kay also built a career in the bridal business. She helped thousands of brides find their perfect dress, plan their special day, and even travelled around the world making sure their visions came to be. When she wasn't helping brides she was helping with her daughters' school and church activities, as well as hosting countless slumber parties. In more recent years Kay has helped families furnish and decorate their homes while working at Jackson's Home and Garden. Kay was loved and will be missed by countless family, friends, colleagues and customers.
