I met Kay through the woman’s club. I didn’t know her well, but it was always a pleasure to talk with her. She was very involved with the club. My thoughts are with the family.
Joyce Ayers says

Kay was such a patriarch of Apopka… her history of all accomplished in life was inspiration to many. She will be truly missed by friends, family and those of us who knew her a short time. she was one who knew meaning of true friendship and part of know of the “Apopka Fern” in front of City Hall.
Ms. Kay you will be trully missed!

Cindy,
My Aunt was very special to me and I loved her dearly. Although I was not present at her funeral, I would have been if I had known of her death. She was a beautiful individual who will always remain in my heart as someone who was a great influence on me. She was an important person in my life. I will pray for your family as you go thru the grieving and loss. Love, Janice

I met Kay in 1973 when we moved across the street from her. I remember playing bunco with her until I moved away in 1985. She was a wonderful person and will be missed. Prayers for her family gone but never forgotten.🙏😇🌹♥️
