Kay Dougherty McAfee was a lovely, kind and religious person.
I have found memories of being on Ron and Kay's boat with Susan, Kevin, and Ron & Kay children. They were trying to teach me to waterski. I could do it. Kay whispered in my ear with a firm and caring voice: "look at my eyes and do exactly as I say and you will be able to do it!" She was right. This situation epitomizes who Kay was! She was a "take-charge" person who portrayed this characteristic in a gentle and caring manner.
I will miss Kay's smile! When she smiled she could warm up a room! She will be missed!

Uncle Ron, Ron Jr, Kathy, and Karon,
I am very saddened by Aunt Kay's passing, and my deepest condolences are with all of you. I have many fond memories of time spent with Aunt Kay at Hickory Hill when she'd babysit me on Tuesdays/Thursdays before I was in school. Any time that we'd talk in recent years, the conversation would always include her referencing taking care of Jessie and when we'd go there, me asking Aunt Kay to take the Blazer so that I could "ride up high". There's also great memories that I will always cherish of Kiana's Annual Pool Party that Aunt Kay would host. Aunt Kay's hospitality will definitely be missed, she was one of the best at opening up her home to come visit whether it be for Thanksgiving, or out of the blue. This was most evident when my father, Deanna, and I surprised her and Uncle Ron on Memorial Day weekend. My dad had to go down for work and wanted to surprise her, and without batting an eye her first inquiry was to make sure we didn't book accommodations because we'd be staying with her!
I am sorry that I will be unable to attend Aunt Kay's services and see yall, but you will all continue to remain in my thoughts and prayers!!
Much Love!!
