surrounded by
loving family and
friends
at Community
Hospice in Vidalia on

she
spent much of
her adult life
in Toombs County

near her
beloved mother.
She was a member
of Rome Primitive Baptist
Church. Kay was a
1964 graduate
of Reidsville High School and
remained
close to many
of her classmates. She is
remembered by
friends as the one
who was a “ray
of sunshine,” always laughing, optimistic and ready to
enjoy life.
Kay made wonderful friends during the years
she worked at
Altamaha EMC, Montgomery County
Bank
and in optometry offices in
Vidalia and Savannah. She
created joy for others wherever she
lived and
worked. She
treasured memories of good times with family, friends, and
colleagues. She
especially loved to reminisce about travels with her mother.
