In 1956 my family left Greene to relocate in Ihaca. My sister, Sandy Beebe, was a friend of Kay's 51+ years ago. Sandy died at the age of 49.
To Kay's family and friends- George and I send our heartfelt sympathies.

In the past few years we had seen Kay only on occasion, but we have known the Rockwell family for many, many years. Kay was a loving, caring, fun person.
May Chris, Cork, Bernie, and their families find comfort in their memories.
God Bless you all.

Kay worked for a short time at the law firm Pearis, Resseguie, Kline & Barber many many years ago. She was a delight to work with, full of vim and vigor. My sympathy to the entire family -- Pat Sexton Buglione

My parents were such good friends of Bus and Evie Rockwell, Kay's parents. We spent countless hours visiting with their family when I was a child growing up. It has been many years since I've seen Kay or her sister Chris, but my memories of their household are many and endearing. My deepest sympathies go out to the whole family.
