Kay Cook Keller
1952-2022
Kay Cook Keller went to be with Jesus on Monday April 25, 2022. Kay was a loving daughter, sister, mother, aunt, grandmother, and friend. She loved serving others and enjoyed making them feel special. Though she fought a tough battle with ALS her life was not defined by it.
Any family facing ALS should not move through this journey alone, and we are thankful to have had so many to walk with us. Space will not allow us to thank everyone adequately, especially our family and friends, and to you all we say thank you. Additionally, we want to thank the Neurology Unit and ALS Clinic Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist, whose care and professionalism cannot be praised enough. Thank you. Senior TLC Pace of Gaston County who were outstanding in the face of difficult circumstances. Thank you. To the team at Gaston Hospice Robin Johnson House for your unending compassion, care, and dignity in loving and servant attitudes. Thank you. Finally, to our Fraley Memorial Church family. Thank you for your love, patience, grace, and flexibility in allowing us to care for Kay. We love you all.
