Kay was born in Winnipeg on November 20, 1917, and has resided here most of her life.

She is also survived by sisters, Clara Craig of Victoria and Isabel (Peter) Frenken of Vancouver; brother Jim Steele of Victoria; as well as many nieces and nephews.

Deepest gratitude is extended to the truly exceptional staff at Lions Personal Care Centre for their kindness and wonderful care during the past three years. Cremation has taken place.
