Kay and her husband lived in many different states during his career in the Marines and she taught school in Guam. Then they finally settled in Lansing where Kay lived in the same house for over 35 years. She started working for the State of Michigan on January 22, 1985, in the Supreme Court Office of Reporter of Decisions and retired on January 31, 2001. She loved to read and always said dancing was in her blood. She has painted numerous beautiful oil paintings. She was a beautiful quilt maker and often gave them to family and friends. She had a wonderful sense of humor and was a strong take-charge independent woman who didn’t like anyone telling her what to do. Kay was loved by all who knew her. Her death was a shock, and she will be missed by all of us.
