Kathryn was "Momma Kay" to everyone who knew her, because she always took the time to listen. Kay was an overall lover of sports, but her favorites were Yale Football, NY Giants, UConn Men's and Women's Basketball. She loved tap dancing, reading, going on cruises, holidays (especially Christmas), and spending time with her family.
