Kathlyn (Kay) Watson Holiday passed away suddenly but peacefully at her home in Village of Golf, FL on February 2, 2018. Raised in Brownwood, TX she lived and raised her family in Middletown,OH until retiring with her husband to Highlands, NC and southern Florida in 1985. Having lost her own mother at age five, Kay lived life with never ending optimism and belief in the power of positive thinking. Her strength and resilience were examples to us all. A loving wife and mother, we remember the flash of her green eyes and her red hair that never turned grey. We will miss her mischievous sense of humor, her love of tennis and coffee, her beauty, her charm and her passion for life. She taught us to help who and where we can and that family is the most important thing there is. We wish to thank Maggie Saintizaire and Nellie Derisca for the loving care they provided. She had 96 glorious years and will be missed by all that knew her.

Preceded in death in 1999 by her husband of over fifty years, Harry and her five siblings, Rita, Rosie, Dot, Marian and Walt. She leaves behind three children and their spouses, Ede (Terry Adamson), Hap (Angela) and Beau (Paula); six grandchildren, Rachael, Collin, Kate, Elizabeth, Erin and Ede; as well as Terry Morgan Adamson and his family.

In remembrance of Kay, please donate generously to the charity of your choice or buy someone a nice purse!
