Kay Roach Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Tate Mortuary on Mar. 15, 2025.
Linda Kay Roach was born December 11, 1943, in Bastrop, Texas, to Ed and Marion Barclay. She grew up in Lubbock, Texas, and graduated from Monterey High School in 1962. She then went on to become a surgical nurse and her lifelong focus was on helping people. Along the way she met her other half, James H Roach Sr., and together they built a beautiful life with their two children. Kay was the backbone of the family but still found time to care for others and spread humor and joy wherever she went.
Kay was preceded in death by many loves ones, including her parents Ed and Marion Barclay, and her grandson Owen.
She is survived by her husband James, children Harley and Shanna, as well as her grandchildren Colin, Lochlan, Kaylee, and James, her great-grandkids DJ, Harley, and Jaxon, her brother Ed (Nancy), and many others who love her dearly.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 10:30am on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at the Cornerstone Baptist Church, 276 East 500 North, Tooele, Utah, with a luncheon to follow.
