Kay was born in Revelstoke on April 8, 1914, and had been a life-long resident. She was a self-employed businesswoman, owning and operating the Regent Hotel for many years, a woman ahead of her time in that regard. She was a champion of local causes but always remained in the background, preferring not to be acknowledged publicly. Kay was active with community philanthropy. She loved her family and took great pride in all their accomplishments.

Kay was predeceased by her parents Fillipo and Maria, her husband Fred, sisters Santa, Janet and Vera and her brother Baker. She is survived by three children: Fred (Marcia), Sherrin Stewart (Mickey Jones) and Jane Hoffman (Bruce Walker); six grandchildren: Brady (Courtney), Adrian (Bryna), Stefano (Lauren), Abigail (Don), Catherine (Steve) and Michael (Leslie); 12 great grandchildren: Roman, Isabella, Hugo, Luca, Marco, Alessandra, Matthew, Danielle, Holden, Claire, Olivia and William, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
