Kay (Kirkland) Wood, age 76, of Flippin passed away Tuesday, July 23, 2019 at her home in Flippin, Arkansas surrounded by her beloved family. She was born July 11, 1943 in Fairview, Arkansas to Floyd and Myrtle (Swan) Kirkland and lived her whole life in Marion County.

Her greatest joy in life was spending time with her family. Her husband, her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren were what her world revolved around . Kay worked as the secretary for Flippin Public Schools for a few years after she graduated before going to work at the Mar-Bax Shirt Factory, where she worked for 20 years. She then went to work with her sister Nina at Ranger Boats where she was employed for over 40 years until she suffered a stroke in January of 2017. She loved to sew, crochet, cook, and make jelly. But her favorite hobby was watching all of her kids play sports and spoiling babies!
