She moved back to her roots in Taunton in 2002, where she enjoyed her yard and flowers. Kay was a classy lady, who loved to reminisce and tell stories. When asked about her family, she would share that she had five children, seven grandchildren, and two great grandchildren who she was very proud of and "they all turned out good." She was a mother ‘til the end - it was always about the children!Her children are grateful for the care and compassion of Gerald Miley M.D. and the caring nursing staff of the New England Baptist Hospital.
