Kay also helped on many charity events for seniors and children. She worked many jobs in her lifetime, from raising her sons, to working at the Methodist Hospital in the bakery, to an admitting clerk at the hospital. Kay arrived in Jacksonville on June 21, 1967, and had many friends at Methodist Hospital, Riverside Apartments, and Riverside House where she resided for many years. Kay`s last residence was at Lifecare of Jacksonville where Kay had many friends including Teri, Erin, Liz, Jane (who was wonderful) and the many nurses and CNAs that took care of all her needs. Because of COVID-19, we will celebrate her passing at a later date. Kay`s remains will be taken back to Hawaii by her family to be placed in a family plot. Aloha and Mahalo to ALL.
