She was a member of St. Peter Catholic Church in Linton and treasured her connection with the Sisters of Providence at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, where she served as a Providence Associate.

Her compassion extended beyond people through her volunteer work with the Greene County Humane Society. She found joy in their companionship and in helping provide them with care.To her family, Kay was a treasured keeper of memories.
