Kay, 71, passed away unexpectedly of natural causes at her home in Davis, OK on the afternoon of Thursday, March 29, 2012. Kay was born October 25, 1940 in Ringling, OK.
Kay was married to Bob Drake for more than 50 years, having married her high school sweetheart. She attended junior high and high school in Davis, where she was a proud member of the “Sexy 7”. She attended college at The University of Oklahoma, and later at East Central University in Ada. Kay often said that she had “a Ph.D in ‘Bob Drake.’”

She was a member of the Akomda Club of Davis. Kay was an avid bridge player and belonged to four Murray County bridge clubs. In fact, she hosted bridge at her home on March 27, 2012, and felt in great health until the moment of her surprise passing. Kay loved dancing; she and Bob belonged to several dance clubs over the years. Together, they had jitterbugged since 1955.

Kay was a homemaker and enjoyed working in her beautiful flower gardens. She loved interior design and collected antiques. She was an animal lover, and usually had her beloved Yorkie, Zena, traveling with her. She and Bob traveled often, and enjoyed friends all over the United States. Kay was a devoted wife, sister, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She was a loyal friend.
