I was so sad to hear of Kay's passing. She was a wonderful, intelligent, caring woman. A devoted mother, daughter, sister, and neighbor. A sensitive, loving, loyal friend, and hard worker. She was the epitome of the phrase, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going." Her long battle is over now and she can finally rest in peace in Heaven in our Savior's arms.

We have two ways of remembering loved ones who leave us and start another journey. We either cry over their absence, or smile and remember them through the countless memories that have stayed back. We will miss Kay. We love you Lisa....stay strong. John & Cindy
— Cindy Hartle

No more pain and suffering. Kay will be back in the resurrection that Jesus promised
