Born on Nov. 12, 1946, in Detroit, Mich., she was the daughter of Ethel Wendell Bryant and Nell Winnie Campbell Bryant Allen. She was one of seven children raised in the family home and she attended Warsaw High School.

Kay was an incredibly caring, giving person, especially with her family. She was strong-willed and kind. She liked cooking, crochet and Westerns. She was rarely spotted without her nails painted and was known for her kindhearted nature.
