mission to give her military
family roots and Lawton was
their "home" for 40 years.

is where she drew her strength
and left her legacy.

turned her love of family and
history into a hobby. She was
a member of the Historical
Society and an avid genealo-
gist. Through her genealogy
she made connections and
friendships with distant rel-
atives and enjoyed sharing
family stories. Kay also
enjoyed travel - spending the
last 25 years going to see her
daughter's family, exploring
England, Wales and Paris.
Kay had 7 grandchildren

She loved read-
ing to them and
baking cook-
ies. She was
also an excel-
lent seamstress
and especially
loved amazing
Halloween cos-
tumes for them.

husband of 58 years, Bob,
children; Karen and husband
