I actually remember the first time I met Kaye. I was about 4 or 5 and she was about 9 or 10. She was so pretty and knew so many things. I wanted to be just like her. We ran into each other at family get-togethers and holidays and I happily trailed after my sophisticated first cousins, Kaye and Hoppie and Sonya. Kaye was a bubbly, high-spirited blonde all of her life. She was also kind to everyone.. She commiserated with me frequently about my problems with my beloved son, and we shared stories, mistakes, and joys from our past. It was great fun to share her little trailer near the coast on the island and to meet her friends. I will hold her close in my memory until I die.

Kaye was not only my cousin. but also one of my dearest friends. She was always there for anyone who needed help of any kind. Kaye was fearless......traveling all over the world in jobs few women would attempt.We loved hearing about all her experiences in different parts of the world. Such a loving, sweet and kind person. I will be forever grateful that we had many wonderful experiences together...from childhood throughout our lives. From raising children on her own to having successful business,,,She did it all!! Kayes smile would lit up the room when she walked in. I miss you so much Kaye...…..we will meet again on the other side and what a great time we will have. The angels in Heaven are welcoming back one of their own....I will miss Kaye every day of my life and have her in my heart forever....

Kaye I know your up there watching over all of us. We all loved you and will miss you. "I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love... Rest In Peace.
I’m sorry to hear that Kaye passed away. I have fond memories of Kaye when she worked for Keydril on the Key Singapore in Alaska / California. She was a very nice person who always communicated with everyone she came in touch with. Kaye was the ( head stewardess ) working on the Key-Singapore and made sure all the food cooked and served was the best. I never heard anyone complain about the food, and always left the galley full, and and smile on their face. Just recently I found out about Kaye passing, looking back over the years time passes so fast, just wanted to say thanks for the conversations we had and again thanks for the great food you prepared. Rest in peace, your in our thoughts and prayers….
