Kay was born in 1940 in Murray, Utah. She grew up in that area and graduated from Jordan High School in 1958. In 1961, she married John Ovard. The marriage produced three sons, Christian, Corbin and Justin. Sadly, Corbin died shortly before his third birthday. The marriage came apart in 1987.
In May 1988, Kay met Van Gerszewski. Kay and Van married in 1991 after dating more than three years.
Kay enjoyed road trips, cruises, neighborhood walks and local socials. She had an intense love for babies, toddlers and young children.
Her working career included homemaker, assisting her husband John in his business, bank teller, laboratory receptionist, and pharmacy clerk.
Kay took ill this past summer and passed away on November 27, 2018 from Alzheimer’s complications. She is survived by Van, her son Christian (Angie) and son Justin. Other survivors are granddaughters Courtney, Sarah and Theresa each of Petaluma. Also, Kay leaves behind two brothers Clair (Beth) and Bill (Larue); and two sisters Denise and Sharon. Clair, Bill and Denise live in Utah and Sharon in Montana.
Kay and Van’s 27 year marriage was really a blessing.
Friends are invited to a “Celebration of Kay’s Life” on January 12, 2019 at noon, at the Clover Springs Lodge, 210 Red Mountain Drive in Cloverdale.
