Following college, Kay married the love of her life, Robert Poehler, on April 13, 1957. Once Robert completed engineering college at Valparaiso, Kay told him to pack his bags because the glamour of California was calling them. They spent many enjoyable years there and in 1972, Robert’s job transferred them to Texas where they have spent most of their time. In her world travels, Kay never met a stranger. She has made more friends in her life than one could imagine and had an infectious smile that would light up the world. She lived out her life in Jesus through her love of people, never showing judgement upon anyone.
