She graduated from Northwestern Oklahoma State University in Woodward. She and Bill owned and operated the Elk Pharmacy in Stratford, TX from 1969-1978.

Kay was a Life Master contract bridge player, avid gardener and enjoyed working out at the gym. She loved life and had a great sense of humor. She enjoyed traveling with her husband, doing crossword puzzles, spoiling her cats, and going to garage sales.

She was preceded in death by her husband; parents; three brothers; and four sisters.

Kay was “Mamaw” to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She will be greatly missed and remembered with love by all her family. Her funny antics kept us all smiling.
