Kay was born on December 11, 1939, in Upper Turkey Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania to Albert and Estella Putman. Kay married the love of her life, Carman, and spent 45 years happily married. She will be remembered for her love for life and everything it had to offer. Kay loved to sing and dance in her younger years. She worked as a secretary for both Mercy and Foote hospital, eventually retiring after 28 years. Kay loved spending time with her family. Once she retired, she developed a passion for crocheting and would crochet prayer shawls for friends, family members and many organizations. Kay enjoyed meeting her work friends for lunch, playing Bingo, bowling, scrapbooking, and crafting with plastic canvas. If you knew Kay, then you knew she left saying “We’ll see you tomorrow, God willing, and the creeks don’t rise!

The family would like to extend a thank you to the Henry Ford Allegiance Hospice House – Jackson, and all of their employees for their care, concern, commitment, counseling and loving attention they gave Mom, but to her family as well. We would also like to thank the Jackson County Medical Care Facility and staff for their care.
