Joyce C. Kay
May 5, 1939 — April 21, 2020
Mrs. Kay, the wife of Bert Kay, passed away early Tuesday morning at her home in Cordova. She was the daughter of the late Isaac Mayer Cross and Bonnie Hatch Cross.
Born in McNairy County on Friday, May 5, 1939, she had lived in Hardeman County and in Florida before settling in Memphis where she lived for 50 years. She and Mr. Kay were married on Tuesday, July 3, 1984. Mrs. Kay had worked in administration for Target, for Southern College of Optometry and, lastly, as office manager for Boyle Investment Company. She attended Hope Presbyterian Church and, in her leisure time, enjoyed hunting, fishing, estate sales, auctions and collecting antiques.
Since the time of his birth, her grandson, Thomas, was the center of her life. Fueled by her love for him and for outdoor activities in general, she never missed a sporting event where Thomas was involved.
She leaves her husband, Bert, of Cordova; two sons, Ben Williamson (Lisa) of Piperton and Glenn Williamson (Judy) of Cordova; and a grandson, Thomas Williamson of Memphis.
Memorials may be sent to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. [http://www.stjude.org]
