Later, they moved to New Orleans for several years before eventually moving to Kansas. Ron and Kay finally moved to Canyon, Texas where they have remained. Kay was an avid lover of the piano and had a private studio for several years in her home. She enjoyed having friends around, going to garage sales, and looking at antiques. She loved reading her bible and spending time with her Savior, Jesus Christ. She adored her children and grandchildren, and she often said that her one true calling was to be a good mother. She will be missed by her family and by her many friends, for whom she often prayed.
