Her grandchildren will forever be looking up to her – Errynn Ryleigh White, Emeila Jayne Schubmehl, and Herman John Schubmehl – as she assists them navigate each twist and turn of life.
She is predeceased by her parents, Neil & Ethel Ayers. Kay was the youngest of six siblings; Neil (Kim) Ayers of Avon, Larry (Sandy) Ayers of Avon, Bob (Patricia) Ayers of Avon, Randy (Deb) Ayers of Avon, and Janet Huhn of Farmington. She also has many nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and nephews, who she loved dearly.
Staying within her home through the battles, she was graciously cared for by family members, her amazing church family, the powerful community within Avon, and her amazing nurse and aide, from the Livingston County Hospice team.
Kay was a passionate employee of U of R, for over 35 years, within the Uro-Gynecology department. She took pride in her work at the office, helping each patient and assisting the doctors with procedures. She loved listening to country music, baking Christmas cookies with her children and grandchildren, harvesting vegetables from the garden that her and her husband planted each year, canning her infamous tomato soup, raising chickens, reading, crocheting blankets, and loved cheering for the Green Bay Packers.
She will be deeply missed by all the lives she has touched.
