Janetta Ables Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Kay was born on February 9, 1962, in Wichita, Kansas to the late "Mac" and Mary McCleskey. On May 17, 1980, Kay married Jimmy Ables and together had three children, Jeremy, Candace, and Chad. Kay enjoyed working as a home-health aid for over 25 years. Kay enjoyed doing crafts including painting and making wreaths and centerpieces. She also enjoyed decorating – especially for Christmas. Additionally, she enjoyed gardening, shopping, jewelry and antiques. Most of all, Kay cherished time spent with her family – particularly with her grandchildren.
Kay is survived by her husband, Jimmy, of nearly 44 years; her children, Jeremy, Candace and husband Mackenzie Lawrence, and Chad and wife Jaimie Ables; her grandchildren, Riley, Kayden, Madelynn, Zoey, Cassidy, and Greyson; and by her sisters, Charlotte Hartwell, Mary Graves, Ann Walker Boyd; and by her brother, Donald Walker.
In addition to her parents, Kay was preceded in death by her sister, Cheryl Ables.
Cremation has taken place and all services will be held at a later date.
