Kevin met and fell in love with Shannon Sayers and they gave birth to Kay's only grandchild, Mary. Kay thought Mary "hung the moon" and was the smartest granddaughter anyone could ever hope for. She loved to brag about Kevin, Shannon and Mary to anyone within earshot. Kay went to any event Mary did except hunting, even grandmothers have limits.She is survived by her brother, Joe Ray, and his family – Peggy, Luke, Becca and Libby.
