She also leaves behind her daughters, Tanna Jaquess and Tom of San Angelo, Lisa Marks and Ricky of Brownwood, Gena King and Robert of Ballinger, Susie Bryan and Robby of Ballinger, and Anna Marie Miller of Abilene.

Kay’s profession was as homemaker to five daughters and husband, Gerald. She enjoyed spending time with her girls, especially loving their getaways to Fredericksburg and other Texas hotspots. She also loved playing Bridge with her friends from the Bronte Bridge Club on Tuesdays.

The family would like to thank the San Angelo medical community, especially Dr. John Stephenson and the nurses at Shannon and Community, who cared for Kay these last five years. And special thanks are due to the Lyndale Assisted Living staff and aides, who lovingly helped Kay, and to her good friends who scheduled many ‘dates,’ with her for fun outings.
