In 1948 they moved to Antigonish following the birth of their daughter. Kay was an active member of the Catholic Women's League until she became ill.

Kay is survived by her daughter Josie (Ken) Skretting and granddaughter Kathy of Cranbrook, grandson David (Jola Gendall) of Creston and their small bundle of joy, her great grandson Corin who due to her illness did not get to see, but still loved dearly; sister-in-law- Thelma (Eldred) Crispo and many loved nieces, nephews and friends. She was predeceased by her husband Lauchie in 1976, her parents, brothers Seward and Eldred, sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law.
