Kay was admired for her superb cooking and baking and she also had a green thumb in her garden.
Golf and bowling were her favorite sports, at which she excelled.
She was loved by all for her sweet disposition, sense of humor and loving, generous nature.
Her love and devotion to her extended family and her Catholic faith were hallmarks of her wonderful life.
Kay was adventurous and loved to travel all through the U.S., Europe and Asia, the highlight of which was the two years she lived in Australia, learning to play tennis at the age of 74.
She worked hard all her life, including years of employment at Treasury Drugs and Barclay Drugs in Venice.
