Kaye and her husband visited our church's (St. Johns UCC at Boonville) Harvest Festival many years ago and we all became good friends with her. She was a wonderful, kind, caring and lovely lady! They came to our Harvest Festivals every year and we all looked forward to seeing her. We will miss her cards and calls. We know she loved the Lord and is in heaven.

Kaye was exceptionally generous with her friendship and sharing her special quilting talents. While I was away from my family on a military assignment, Kaye and her sister Bee, worked with my wife to create two quilts from memorable items from college and the military my wife had been collecting. This involved Kaye donating many hours to create 2 amazing quilts. Kaye also gifted me an amazing set of books on WWII, thinking of my interest in military. Whenever we curl up under those quilts, or spend time reading the books, we will think about how kind and generous she was. Our deepest condolences go to her entire family and you all will be in our thoughts and prayers.
So sorry to hear of Kay's passing ,we became friends through our love of quilting . She will be missed by all who knew her, prayers for the family
Prayers and Sympathy for Kaye's family and friends! May your memories consol you in your grief. I became acquainted with Kaye and Reid as their dental hygienist, after they moved to Lebanon, I am thankful to have known both! Debbie Fletcher Adams
Hadn't seen Kaye for a long time but mom kept me up to date on what was going on. Sorry for your loss.
Years ago, Kaye and I were both members of an Investment Club that held monthly meetings at the Lake Career and Technical Center in Camdenton. It wasn't until she brought her mother "Essie" Collins to one meeting, that we realized we were distant cousins! My condolences are extended to her family at this time. Larry Peterson
