Soon after moving to Gronlid, SK she grew up in the middle amongst 5 siblings: Elsie, Nick, Helen, Andy and Jim. After completing her grade twelve Kay attended Psychiatric Nursing in Winnipeg, MB soon returning back to Gronlid, SK. Local barn dances were always well received, even more so for Kay! She had been introduced to a local farmer and band member who would soon become her husband. Keith and Kay joined hands marrying in Regina, SK (1949) returning back to Gronlid, SK building a life of their own, having 4 children - Bud, Larry, Shannon and Kevin. Soon after having their second child they moved from the family farm to build a life in Melfort, SK who soon realized she very much enjoyed being in touch with people! Kay was hired on with the Melfort Court House as “Clerk of the Courts” with exceptional shorthand skills, eventually given the title as Deputy Sheriff. Having dedicated close to 20 years of service with the department of Justice, Keith and Kay had aspirations of building their own business together, opening an Automotive/Heavy Duty Repair shop (Parkland Motors) in Melfort, SK in 1978. She joined Keith as the Accountant/bookkeeper to a business both were very passionate about. Kay approached this new role with the same passion she placed on her family and life. Keith and Kay loved socializing with friends and family alike, enjoying many wonderful memories throughout the years at the Kipabiskau family cabin. Both held strong Lutheran ties being very involved with the Melfort St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, along with many weekends helping out at every capacity on the family farms in the Gronlid, SK region! She always made time for her passions sewing, petty point, gardening, canning, reading, walking and cooking traditional “Ukrainian” meals at every occasion that presented itself! After losing her husband and friend Keith early in life (1987) had left her a tough decision, selling the family business! Kay had dedicated her time back to the Melfort Lutheran Church and community, to include being a strong advocate and supporter of the Melfort Mustang Hockey Association.
