Mary Kathryn Butler

Mary Kathryn Butler was born June 28th, 1942 to Tommye and Vernon Butler in Lawton, Oklahoma. Kay passed away Wednesday March 21st, 2018 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Kay was the only surviving daughter of her parents. She was doted upon by her parents and when the time came she cared for and doted on them before they passed.

“Kay” as she was known by family and friends graduated from Oklahoma State College as a teacher. Mary Kay was an alumni and supporter of the Gamma Phi Beta Sorority. Kay taught at Harding Charter Preparatory High school until she retired at sixty-five years old. After her retirement she continued enriching her students’ lives as a substitute teacher until her health declined. Kay was a supporter of the high school’s Vietnam Memorial Scholarship.

One of Kay’s favorite hobbies included bingo and eating sweets. She was a huge fan of Cheetos. Kay was known for her spunky attitude and quick wit. Kay had an exceptional talent with numbers and was still able to recollect addresses, phone numbers, and bank accounts before her death.

During the tax season Kay would send her CPA an envelope with all of her finances for the year. Kay’s CPA said that when they would go over the tax returns together Kay would remember every contribution to the penny. He remembers one year when she called him at his office and said that he had missed one. The CPA then went back over the documents and found the exact one he had missed. He said Kay never missed a thing when it came to numbers.
