Mrs. Kay was born in Pike County on August 9, 1947 and was the daughter of Roney Dunaway and Wilma Alexander Dunaway. She had many friends and never met a stranger. She loved to pick with people and make jokes. She could get along with anyone. She just loved people. Her hobbies were putting puzzles together and sitting on her front porch.

She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
