Eileen Kay (nee Abbott) died peacefully Thursday, Feb. 25, 2010, in Anchorage, Alaska, surrounded by family.
Mrs. Kay was born Dec. 27, 1925, in Detroit, Mich., the daughter of Robert Charles Abbott and Mildred Jenny Sink. The Abbotts were very early settlers of Seneca County and Pleasant Township. She graduated as valedictorian from Old Fort High School in 1943. In 1947, Eileen married the late Eugene Repp and together they had four children. In 1973, she married Jack Kay and they lived happily until his death in 1988.
Eileen worked as a social worker in Seneca and Hamilton counties for more than 30 years. A tireless advocate for the mentally ill, she served as president of the Hamilton County Chapter of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill. Eileen always loved a good card game and enjoyed playing regularly at the Leonard Shore Club in Cincinnati. She particularly enjoyed a good hand of Gin Rummy at her kitchen table with the late Bob Armstrong.
Eileen lived life on her own terms and she left this world on her own terms. She will be dearly missed by her family and friends. Eileen is survived by four children, Stephen (Edith) Abbott Repp of Anchorage, Alaska, her daughter, Lynn A. Kenney of Anchorage, Douglas A. (Jayne) Repp of Gibsonburg, and Thomas William Repp of Mansfield; eight grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; and her beloved sister, Betty Dominique.
Besides her parents, Eileen was preceded in death by her first husband, Eugene Repp; her second husband, Jack Kay; her companion, Bob Armstrong; and her beloved brother, Charles Abbott.
