Kaye, 75, of Lubbock, Texas, went to Heaven on Sunday, January 1, 2017. She was born June 5, 1941 to Marion and Ollie Phillips. Kaye grew up in Ralls, Texas and was very proud to be a Jackrabbit. She married Bob Kirk in Caprock, Texas on June 3, 1960. They were together for 46 years. Kaye was a beautician and worked serving her customers in Plainview and Floydada for many years.

As the family grew she went to work in Littlefield in the school system and to this day is remembered by many students that she helped. Above all else, Kaye was devoted to her husband, and family. She was always there for those that needed her. Kaye was very creative. She loved to paint and draw. Her last project was to paint or draw something for each of her kids. Kaye also loved to play bridge and was a Golf Life Master. She was a very active member of the Lubbock Bridge Center. She loved pets and over the years had many dogs, cats, birds, fish and turtles. She loved to travel, fish, camp, and play all kinds of games.

After Bob died in 2007, Kaye was very blessed and found someone else to share her life with, Wilton McDonald. They were devoted to each other in heart and soul. Cuddles is their dog that they both love dearly.
