Great grandma to 18 and future great great grandma, she will be missed by all who cherished her deeply. Kay was a lover of any sweets, especially pie, chocolate, and the homemade fudge her granddaughter Diane lovingly supplied. Her favorite place in the world was the Rivers Casino where she would spin away at the butterfly machine. She loved spending time with her children and had many tales to tell them about the golden days of radio and having coffee soup during the depression. She enjoyed word searches and nightly Wheel of Fortune games. Kay lived with her daughter Debra and her family for years and she loved watching Pittsburgh sports and soap operas. Visitation and viewing will be held on Friday, April 15 from 4pm until 8pm and in Huntsman Funeral Home and Cremation Services of Aliquippa. Also on Saturday, from 10am until the time of Funeral Service at 11am conducted by Rev. Kevin Neal.
One of Kay’s favorite words of wisdoms were “I am never alone. I have an angel on my shoulder and God in my heart.” She is now our guardian angel.
