Kay was an inspiring teacher who helped students develop self-confidence and faith throughout middle school and high school. I am especially grateful to her for introducing me to drama in the play "The Romantic Robots." I'm grateful to have had her as a teacher and neighbor.
Kaylin, as I called her, we shared the name Kay! Loved her family, in thought, word and deed! Some of my memories of her included, a heartfelt professional, survivor and prayer warrior! Cherish my times with her in Shanghai. Will hold her contributions to my life in my hear forever! So thankful for her in my life. Prayers continue for Kaylin's family as you celebrate her life and grieve her presence. - Kay Lambert
Kay was such a kind soul and took care of all of us when she was a part of the staff at ASFM. I still have three beautiful Christmas trees that she made by sewing together extra fabric from costumes used in the school’s musical. I take them out each Christmas and remember her. When we are away from our families in international teaching jobs - the little details remind us that family can be more than blood.
You picked such a sweet picture of Kay with Jiaozhe! She was a tireless defender of her friends and the students at Concordia. She sewed quilts for orphans, opened her home any time for anyone who needed her, and had a real joie de vive even when she was in pain. She hosted great parties for decorating cookies and watching videos. She always had a good thought to share after listening to what anyone had to say. I had dinner with her almost every week in Shanghai and it was such a great event to look forward to! I know she loved her family, loved God and lived her best life. She was too young to be taken from us but her suffering is over. Sending you love from Canada ❤️
Even years after I stopped being her student, Ms Kay reached out and checked in with me. I saw her do the same for my peers. She was such a powerful example of kindness and of tireless faith. I’m grateful to have known her.
A precious friend and a wonderful example of how we are called to be ‘good and faithful servants’. Kay was so courageous in every aspect of her life and had an incredible impact on the lives of many others. It was a privilege to call her a friend. Rest In Peace.
She was always the best grandma ever and she got to do everything she could’ve wanted. I know she’s in a better place but I’m still sad. She is feeling better and she is flying high and she’s in a better place I love you Neena- Brady Johnston
Ma Kay's door was always open. Things haven't been easy for a time now, but she always had a way of making me feel valued and could always make me smile with her humour and antics.
In Shanghai, many a-night when I just needed a friend, I made a beeline from Building 7 to her place in Building 8, in my pajamas, to a warm welcome. She let me root through her cupboards for tea bags to make us cups of comforting chai tea.
On my many rocky trips to TX, she drove to Dallas to meet me. We laughed and cried and she offered many words of wisdom - and even insisted I move to Amarillo. Ma "Baker" was warm, kind, compassionate, loving, full of hope, and - well, she could be downright feisty if ya didn't behave yourself or if ya put up any foolishness. Kay, you are deeply deeply missed by the many who have been blessed enough to have you touch their lives and show them God's love. Mother Hubbard, this is Bo Peep calling - until we meet again, keep the kettle on, and I'll see you before too long. You are tremendously loved and you are already terribly missed. I love you, Mama Kay!

I first met Kay at food Bank my ears perked up when a hundred and say she had been a missionary.I decided to meet her. So glad I did glad to have been involved with her making things for missionary children and quilts stitching faces on stuffed toys for the children ,playing sequence, . Just lots of good times sometimes very sober and personal times at her load times ,sometimes she with me during my rough times. Such a precious person. She truly was a gift from God. Her goal was to be like Christ to everyone. SHE FINALLY SPOKE OF ALL OF HER KIDS GRANDS AND OH YES AMORE .Each one she treasured.!!!
Love and prayers for you all.
