Kay Kaiser

August 12, 1951 — July 5, 2017

Kay Kaiser was born August 12, 1951 in Selmer, TN the daughter of the late William Arnold and Willie Lee Nixon Goodrum.

Miss Kaiser was the matriarch of her family. Her love was fierce, her discipline was tough but fair, and her heart was always thankful for her many blessings. She was a strong-caring-selfless-kindhearted-wonderful mother who was very proud of her children. She loved Christmas, spending time with her family, and especially loved cooking their favorite foods. She was known for her southern cornbread dressing, no-bake chocolate cookies, 5 cup fruit salad, chocolate & biscuits, 7 up cake and strawberry cake.

The avid coffee drinking-QVC and HSN shopping-Southern cooking-fierce loving matriarch lived a life that leaves a lasting legacy of love. A love for family.
