In 2012, she was inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame of Bossier High School. This award was a formal recognition of her achievements in sports, years before women's athletics were part of public education. She was especially talented in tennis and later an avid and accomplished golfer. Her love of golf was shared with her husband Larry as well as her son and grandson. Kay's careers included cosmetology as well as home décor and electrical sales. She owned successful businesses in Bossier City, San Antonio, and Boerne, Texas. Her family was her greatest success story. Kay's vision of a happy extended family included many special friends, and set an example for others to follow for helping and encouraging others. Her personality was continually enthusiastic, and her outgoing nature made us proud to love her. Kay is preceded in death by her parents, Ada and Cecil Bass, and her sister, Cecile Bass Thompson.
