Kay grew up in the Greenville, NC area. She wore many hats but spent several years working at her brother's restaurant, Venter's Grill, which was known for its sweet potato biscuits and chicken 'n dumplings. She also worked for H&R Block helping people with taxes. She loved keeping papers organized! She eventually moved to Wake Forest where she stayed busy spending time with her daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter. Kay was a loving mother and grandmother. She loved reading and telling silly jokes. She enjoyed westerns and watching Cross Assembly online. She was also very good at drawing. Her granddaughter was her pride and joy. Kay was kind and chatty with cashiers at the store or anywhere she went.
