Kay is survived by her three children; Linda (Eric) Miller, Steven Doppel, and William (Sandy) Doppel, as well as her grandchildren Joshua (Lauren) Miller, Megan (John Allen) Carruth, Heather Doppel and Casey (Meghan Parmalee) Doppel.  She is also survived by her great-grandchildren Adelyn and Braelyn Miller, Adalina Doppel and Evianna Doppel.  She was pre-deceased by her husband Harold, as well as by her sisters and brothers.
