July 25, 1926 — November 28, 2012

Kay was born on July 25, 1926, the daughter of Aubrey and Mama Jessie Bowden.

Kay grew up in a loving Southern family in Mississippi. She graduated from high school and then attended Mississippi State College for Women with a Bachelors degree in Mathematics.
After college she became an airline stewardess with American Airlines. She was able to travel and see the world until she met the love of her life Bill, in Fort Worth, Texas.
Bill was a navigator in the United States Air Corp and they settled down in Fort Sam Houston, Texas. For the next twelve years they moved throughout the United States, raising their family of six beautiful children.
Kay was a stay at home Mom for many years. She often taught school as a substitute teacher and worked with her brother, Jones Bowden, as his office manager. Kay entered the real estate profession after moving to Jefferson City. She was very successful and deeply involved in real estate in central Missouri and throughout the United States.
Kay enjoyed her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Her family, including her nieces and nephews, were a very important part of her wonderful life. Her humor, love and constant smile will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
