She grew up on the South Side of Chicago, married her high school sweetheart Dennis, raised their children in Wilmette, then moved to Highland Park and later Northbrook. Kay worked for almost 60 years as a lab technician, phlebotomist and receptionist for various doctors. She loved interacting with patients and caring for others. She was a loyal friend, many of which she had since elementary school. Some of her most enjoyed hobbies included visiting art fairs, estate sales, a nice walk, caring for her plants, playing rummy cube and eating ice cream. Her favorite role was being a wife, mother, Bubby and Big Bubby. Nothing made her happier than spending time with her grandchildren. Kay is the beloved wife of Dennis; loving mom to Myles Snyderman, Susie (Tod) Ohley and Debby (Brad) Nahrstadt; adored Bubby to T.J.
