Kay R. Ward

Such fond memories of being at your house when I was little. I remember thinking it was so cool that I was allowed to go get a comic book from the store to sit at the kitchen table to look at!
I also remember feeling your parents loved me, but at the same time would discipline me right along side you kids.
Your mom was a wonderful woman who I was lucky to have in my life! Thoughts and prayers to each of you during these difficult days.

Please accept my condolences.
Kay welcomed me to St. Patrick Church by letting me serve on her funeral dinner committee.
I remember attending the Open House for her 80th birthday! Great celebration.

Kay ws like a second Mother to most of the kids in Rocky Grove. My friend <Jack and I painted the inside of thier home when they bought the store. She and Had would always look out for us. I remember after basketball practice we would stop at the store for a cold soda…….No your not aloud to have it…she would say….your in training and Pepsi is not good for you. the world is a sadder place now that she is gone. I will always think of her as Mom.

We would like to express our deepest sympathy for the loss of your beloved mother and grandmother. When I think about Kay, it seems like I’ve known her my entire life… I can close my eyes and see her working at the store when I stopped after school, attending school events, working in the kitchen at the fire hall, going to church, and playing cards at my mother’s card club. I always enjoyed talking with her whenever I would see her around town, and I know from these conversations how much she loved and adored her family.
Kay had an incredible work ethic and was always kind, caring, thoughtful, and friendly. Through her work, her involvement with the church, and her volunteer activities, Kay crossed paths with many people. She had a giving spirit and was always willing to help and serve others. Others looked to her for leadership because they knew she would “get the job done.” She touched many people’s lives and worked tirelessly to make Rocky Grove a better place. Your mother truly made a difference and will never be forgotten ~ she will always be fondly remembered and deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
Although her passing will leave a void in your lives that will never be filled, we sincerely hope your happy memories will bring you a small measure of comfort and peace. Please know that our thoughts, prayers, and deepest sympathy are with you now and in the difficult days that lie ahead.

Kay was so very kind to my family. When my daughter was home not feeling well carrying her first child, Kay would come and take her to daily mass. This was so very kind and meaningful. She also would bring soup to Chris when I was out of town visiting grandchildren. And she raised a wonderful daughter, which is my dear friend Kim. Prayers for all the family. Loved her.

What a sweet, sweet lady. So loving to everyone. I’m glad to have known her. So sorry for your loss, she was really special.

So very sorry about the passing of your mom. She was a very special lady and she will be missed by so many people. Prayers for your family. Bud and Julia Huff
