She was loved beyond measure and will be missed more than words can say. A special thanks to her Timberidge condo family, Ginny Rice and Toni Lewis for their love and care and especially for the lifelong devotion of best friends, Patsy Brown and Sherry McDonnell.

I worked with Kay at AP&L/Entergy for about 30 years. She was a special lady - beautiful, kind, intelligent, hard working, considerate and lots of fun.
