On May 10, 2022, at the age of ninety-one, Kay Scott passed away.
Kay was predeceased by her husband Ken Scott, daughter Kimberley and ten siblings.
Left to cherish Kay’s memory are her children, James, David (Kelly) and Margaret (Wayne); grandchildren Daniel (Angie), Daryl (Jeff), Jesse (Emily), Scott (Skyla), Brenden (Zoë), and Carter; and great-grandchildren Isaac and Lily. Kay is also survived by her sister Chris.
Kay was born in the R.M. of Turtle Mountain in Carberry, Manitoba. She lived there until her late teens when she moved to Winnipeg. Kay met Ken Scott and they married in 1952. Initially, Kay and Ken lived in the west end of Winnipeg before moving to the Morse Place area of East Kildonan.
Kay was initially a stay-at-home mother. Later, she returned to the work force and worked for a number of years as an educational assistant in the River East School Division. At the same time, she returned to university as a mature student graduating with a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Winnipeg in 1984.
Kay was also for most of her life involved with the United Church. She was for many years a member of Morse Place United Church and then of Immanuel United Church. Kay held her spiritual faith strongly throughout her life and benefited greatly from her relationships in the church.
In her retirement, Kay was an active grandparent. She could always be counted on to provide child care and other assistance to her grandchildren. As they grew older, her grandchildren grew to see her differently as less of a caregiving support and more as a trusted person who could be counted on to share her wisdom and wit.
Kay was an avid reader and enjoyed summer camping trips. In her later years, Kay became an avid bridge player, going across the city to join groups to play a game she so loved. Unfortunately, the pandemic effectively ended her involvement in bridge.
Kay will be greatly missed by all who had the good fortune to know her. She was at times feisty, sometimes argumentative on issues dear to her, and honest to a fault. She was always kind, generous and loving.
Cremation has taken place and a private family service will be held.
