Kay was an active member of First Lutheran Church, not just by attending, but being involved in other activities.

Kay’s passion was sewing, quilting, gardening, and playing bridge with her friends. She had a love for nature especially the birds. But her greatest joy was her family, her happiest memories were spending time with her husband, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Kay wanted us to remember to be good to yourself, kind to others, and to feed the birds.

Kay is survived by her loving husband Don; and her children Ann (Tom) Wall, Susan (David) Robinson, Bob (Liz) Cocroft. She is also survived by 7 grandchildren, 5 great-grandchildren, other relatives, and many friends. Her parents and sister Lois Van Dresser preceded her in death.
