Kaye was born March 16, 1955, in Shreveport, Louisiana and passed away July 24, 2025, surrounded by her loving family in her home in Lacamp, Louisiana. She was a lifelong resident of the Vernon Parish area having grown up in Sieper and attended Hicks High School. You could call Kaye a "Jill of all trades" because she held many jobs, but her main job was driving a truck and providing a loving home for her family. She missed her calling as a home interior decorator but still loved making her home cozy and inviting. Crafting was her favorite hobby, and she spent many hours arranging flowers, working with wood, painting, and sewing. She also enjoyed driving a race car, but her true passion was being a mother and grandmother. Kaye would often end a conversation by saying "I love you". Her loved one would respond, "I love you more" but Kaye would get the last word by saying, "I love you the more mostest" then hang up. Her family will be hosting her funeral service in her home church, Laurel Hill Baptist Church.

Kaye was preceded in death by her mother, Helen Marie Barton; sister, Janet Marie Smith; step parents, Huey and Margaret Bonnett; and special aunt, Ruby Bobeck.
