In her retirement years, Kay turned her sleuthing talents from sniffing out fraud to sniffing out her family's genealogical record. Visiting old courthouses and small libraries across the south were great excuses to take road trips and explore areas off the beaten path. She enjoyed sharing her findings with her brother and her cousin Patricia. She later moved to Farmington NM to be close and watch her youngest grandchild grow up. In these years she renewed her interest in reading history, gardening, and painting.
Kay is survived by her three daughters, Deborah Carol Skorepa of Plano, Margaret Evelyn Edmonds, an RV nomad, and Julie Kay Baird and her husband Steve of Farmington NM; brother James Bennett Nance II and his wife Norma and cousin Patricia Bailey. She leaves behind 5 grandchildren, 3 great grandchildren, many nieces, nephews and three grand fur babies. A special thank you goes to her son-in-law Steve Baird for his assistance all these years.
The family would like to thank Southwest Oncology and St. Michael's Namaste House for their support and care of Kay and her family.
Family and friends are invited to a graveside funeral service at 9:00 a.m. Saturday, September 9, 2023, at the Coleman City Cemetery with Chad Anders officiating. Services are entrusted to Stevens Funeral Home, 400 W. Pecan Street, in Coleman.
In Lieu of flowers, the family has asked that donations be made to the Journey of Hope foundation with Mercy Hospital in Durango, Colorado. You can make a donation by visiting centura.org/mercy-hospital-foundation or by calling (970)764-2804.
