She was a founding member of the Happy Hackers women ' s golf team at La Jolla Country Club where she was a long time member. She continued playing bridge with her regular women ' s bridge club up until last year.
Kay Adams will always be remembered by those that knew and loved her for the depth of her generosity, her charming smile, her unfailing optimism in the face of adversity, and her overall zest for life. Her unconditional love for her family and friends was boundless. She will be sorely missed.
Immediate funeral services will be private, but a memorial service will be held in the near future. For details friends can contact her son, Jeff, at 760-918-1700. Memorial donations can be made in her honor to "Y-Me San Diego", a breast cancer organization, 2543 E. Grand Ave. #205, Escondido, Ca 92025.
