Kay enjoyed raising her two boys and was extremely proud of them, as well as her grandchildren. She was also passionate in all that she was involved in. She loved the outdoors and interacting with nature; shooting at the range, fishing and especially traveling with Larry.

Kay was loved by all who knew her. Her love was reciprocated in the humblest and sincere nature. She was extremely generous to all her friends and family. Kay was a retiree of 23 years with Sheppard Bus Company, where she drove bus for special needs children. Her kind and giving heart was obvious to her "babies".

Kay will be loved and missed by all that knew her and will always be remembered by those who's life she has touched. We will all miss her.
