She loved to bake and kept the cookie can filled for her children and, later, her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Kay enjoyed following Walter during the harness racing days and many happy summers were spent during Old Home Week on the Island. She also enjoyed doing puzzles, needlework, socializing with friends and spending time with her family. Kay was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and aunt.
