Kay always wanted to be a mother. After struggling for several years to have children, she was finally blessed with her daughter and son whom she cherished and adored with all her heart. Kay was a loving, nurturing, and kind mother. Later in life, she was further blessed by becoming a grandmother, and even a great-grandmother. To those in her family she was "Obachan", a lively, creative woman who enjoyed being outdoors, making dolls, going to the spa fitness center, and cooking extravagant and delicious meals for her family. Kay will truly be missed by all those whose lives she touched. A service will be held in Kay's honor on Monday, May 17, 2021 at 4:00 PM in the Adcock Funeral Home Chapel.
