Kay was born on November 24, 1933 in Nauvoo, Ala., attended Fayette County High School, and went on to graduate from Tuscaloosa High School in 1950. She married Ted Deavours in 1950 and together they had four children. Kay worked at and retired from B.F. Goodrich and loved traveling the country visiting union shows. Kay was a devoted mother, grandmother, and friend to all. In her later years, she enjoyed spending time with all of her "grands," dancing the night away on the weekend with friends, and she especially loved her "drifts through the thrift."
