Kay was a kind, caring, and adventurous woman who enjoyed living life to its fullest. Born on June 8, 1932 in Dundee, Scotland, Kay was intensely proud of her Scottish heritage and loved her Britishness and instilled that same pride in her family. She was an international traveler and loved being out and about exploring the world; going from place to place like Antarctica to the Far East and everywhere in between. Kay was an immensely sociable woman who made friends everywhere she went. She would often make friends during her many adventures and kept up with them over the years. Kay was many things, but most importantly she was loving mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She loved her family and visited them often, even though they lived all over the world. She loved to drive too and regularly drove to California to visit her son, Nick’s family. Kay will be truly and deeply missed by all those who knew and loved her.
She is survived by her sons, David John Gross (Holly), Nick Gross (Chu Kuei Chang), and Jonathan Paul Gross; grandchildren, Victoria Gross, Logan Gross, Michaela Gross, Hannah Gross, and Benjamin Gross; sister, Linda Gale; and special caretaker, Lisa Lewis.
She is preceded in death by loving husband, Arthur “Art” Fleming; parents; John Wood Oliver and Ann Brown Mackie Oliver; brother, Kenneth Oliver; and sister, Doris Bessell.
