Deeply sad (and shocked) to hear of Kay's passing. She was on the debate team with us and she was not only very good but, perhaps more importantly she was a good person. I cannot remember Kay speaking ill of, or disparagingly of, anyone. Believe me, that was a distinct rarity among the debaters. She was always a person of great humanity. More than ever these days, we need more people like her.

I was sad to hear of Kay’s death. I have wonderful memories of her in high school. We were on the debate team together. She was bright, poised, kind and humble. I know know she was a loving wive, mother,grarandmother and compassionate interfaith worker. I am thankful to have known her in school.

I was so saddened to hear of the death of Kay Dooley. Kay was one of my best friends all through high school. Kay, Linda Corsie, Margaret Watts, and I used to hang around together. She was always a fun person to be with, kind to everyone, smart, and liked by everyone. Kay and I kept in touch over the years, and I know how proud she was of her children and the joy her grandchildren brought to her. I feel blessed to have known Kay and to call her my friend. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

I remember Kay from English classes and elsewhere. I did debate one year, '64-'65, but I think Kay did it different years. I think we did forensics the same year at least once. I remember Kay as articulate, intelligent, and nice.

Throughout our junior and senior years, to my good fortune, Kay and I spent a great deal of time together as we were often paired as partners on the debate team. Kay was the best and the brightest, always smiling, always calm and collected whether it was a simple two school event or the state debate tournament. After we had both moved on to UW I saw Kay from time to time. When she and Bob were married, she called and asked me to attend as the witness to their wedding in a church on State Street. I am very sorry that we did not stay in touch after college, other than to talk, maybe at a reunion, to learn that Kay and Bob had moved to MInnesota following Bob’s graduation from medical school. Kay was a great friend. I will always remember her voice, her smile and that when we walked down the hall together, she was about 6 inches taller than was I. As Ron said, I, too, was very sad and shocked to hear of her passing. I had hoped to see her at the 50th. I will miss her.

Kay and I were not close friends, but we both were close friends of Pat Bates" so the 3 of us made some great memories. Specifically, rooming together in someones house in Madison during the state basketball tournament. Kay's height also gave me a couple of very funny memories - Pat's boyfriend was a member of Ski Sprites and tried to teach Kay and me how to water ski at Pat's family cottage on Lake Altoona. Jim wasn't very tall and had to let go and sit down in the water when Kay's legs got out of control as they shared a tow rope. Also, Kay and I were in Driver's Ed together with good old Mr. Rex Adams; also pretty short. Mr. Adams had to sit on the very edge of the passenger bench seat when Kay was driving in order to reach the instructor's brake pedal. Kay braked suddenly and he slid off the edge of the seat onto the floor. It was all I could do to stifle my laughter as I watched it all from the back seat.
It sounds as though Kay lived a life of kindness and most likely touched a lot of lives. My deepest sympathy to all who knew and loved her.
