Miss Vay loved turquoise jewelery, crafts, pretty dishes, and anything the color of green or turquoise. She enjoyed attending her church Lanier Baptist and the Salvation Army League. She lived her life "her way" and always enjoyed doing the things that made her happy. She lived the last fourteen months in Monroe, LA following a stroke, that left her unable to walk and the loss of her sight. She always felt she was still in Baton Rouge, the place she called home and where her heart would always be. Memorials may be made to the Family Promise of Ouachita, Inc.
