She loved watching sports and rooting for her favorite teams, which usually included one of her family members. During her own athletic career, she played a roving forward on the OLLH girls basketball team in the '60's because she was quick and hard to guard.

Kay was as loved as she was loving. Her little yellow house served as a social hub for her many nieces and nephews, and their friends, who spent so much of their childhood together, laughing with her. The only rule at Kay’s was, "no putting certs in your Vernors" (she said it made the kids go crazy).
