Katherine Fox Obituary
Kay was a dynamic and sincere person who loved her family, reading, and a good clip-on earring. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. She was a light in this world, whose influence will last for years to come.
The guiding theme of Kay's life was how dedicated she was to the people in it. And it showed in the big things and the little things alike: in the cards with thoughtful notes she sent, in the food she cooked for anyone who stopped by, and in the advice, she offered to all who sought it.
She is survived by her children Patrick Fox, Kathleen Jenkins, and Christine Kelly, their children, and anyone who she was a surrogate grandmother to.
