A 1963 graduate of Moss Point High School, Kala treasured the friendship of her classmates. Kala remained active in planning and coordinating class reunions throughout the years and always looked forward to seeing everyone and spending time with them. In between the class reunions, Kala enjoyed traveling and experiencing life with them. In recent years, she rarely returned from one trip before she began planning the next one.
Kala also carried out a passion she shared with her husband, Don – a love for cars. They helped start a car club, “The Magnolia Classic Cruisers” of Jackson County, MS, where they made a lot of friends. Kala remained active after her husband passed away four years ago. She served as secretary for the car club, but anyone who knew her knows she did so much more than keeping up with paperwork. She participated in planning all of the local events and made sure everyone was having a good time.
Kala’s true love was for her family. For years, Kala attended numerous school functions, award ceremonies, ballgames, and family vacations. She devoted her life to supporting the people she loved. Around the ballfields, her booming voice showed her passion and love for the game and for her children and grandchildren. She will be missed by them dearly.
Kala was an active member of Wade Baptist Church and was involved in fundraising for various charities.
