She has two older sisters, Judy and Denise, and one younger one, Kim.
To her family, Kay is known as "Sissy".

Kay went to work for Pennzoil Company in Shreveport and moved to Houston in 1975 where she met Nelson who worked for Pennzoil there. Nelson and Kay were married on May 1, 1976.

In 1999, Kay and Nelson sold the business and after much looking around, retired to Hot Springs Village, Arkansas.

We have always been big on taking pictures, but most of them were just wasting away in a box where nobody would ever see them. It's been a lot of fun going back through them to create this web biography of Kay.

Kay went from bell bottoms and mini-skirts to business suits. But now she lives in her hiking, biking, and kayaking gear. If it doesn't "wick" sweat away, she doesn't wear it.
