Kay joined St. Paul United Methodist Church in 1968 and was a member of the choir, as well as an integral part creating all the existing stained-glass windows surrounding the sanctuary. During her freshman year of college, 1957, she met her husband Bill Luplow, and on June 8, 2016, they celebrated 58 years of marriage. She is survived by her husband, Bill, two children, Britt (Wendy), Lynn (Keith), her 5 grandchildren, Lance, Katelyn, William Parker, Elle and Jenna and her two great-grandchildren, Ava and Landon.
