Kay grew up traveling coast to coast with her family since her father was in the Navy. She worked for AAFES while she earned her bachelor’s degree in business administration in Lawton, OK. Kay loved her job as an accountant and was very dedicated, serving over the years as senior staff accountant, Tribal business manager, treasurer for the Cheyenne & Arapaho Tribes of which she was also a proud tribal member, retiring in December 2023 after 22 years of service, also celebrating 40 years of sobriety. Kay loved cooking, her most requested dish was her spicy rice, and made the best potato salad. She loved the holidays, especially Christmas, making it a special holiday for her family. She enjoyed pow wows and attending Arapaho Sundance in Ethete, Wyoming every year. Kay’s favorite color was red, and her favorite flower are carnations. Most of all, Kay has been a loving mother, daughter, sister, grandma, auntie, and a true friend. Kay will be dearly missed and cherished always.
