She moved many places in her life as her father was in the Army. She grew up in Minden, Louisiana where she graduated in the top 10 of her class at Minden High School. She received a full scholarship to Northeastern State University and obtained a Bachelor’s in Pharmacy and a Master’s in Toxicology at the top of her class. She loved her work as a Pharmacist for 38 years. She was an excellent seamstress and shared her talents with the schools and churches around her, as well as her friends. She was very social and loved spending time with her friends. She was kind and loved helping anyone in need. She was an avid antique enthusiast, and loved shopping with friends and family. One of her favorite pastimes was sewing and creating costumes for her belly dancing troop and for the Renaissance Festival. She was able to spend her retirement with her loving Husband and Chihuahuas, as well as her children and grandchildren. A heartfelt appreciation is extended by the Ford family to Steve LeBlanc for the devotion and care he has selflessly given to Kay in her time of need and to the staff of Audubon Hospice for their compassion.
