Carol Keay departed her earthly body on Monday, May 15, 2017 at the age of 
69. 
Carol was born to the late Velma Purdue Wiyrick and Earl Carlton Wiyrick in 
Bryan, Ohio.

After moving to St. Tammany Parish, Carol became a student of the arts, 
continuously honing her prowess as an artist to become an accomplished 
sculptor, painter, and author. One of her most notable works, “Katrina,” 
published in Quest Magazine in 2006, details a spiritual account of the 
destructive hurricane bearing the same name.

A champion for victims of child abuse, Carol dedicated years of zealous 
support to the Children’s Advocacy Center-Hope House in St. Tammany Parish. 
The Children’s Advocacy Center honored Carol by establishing and awarding to 
her the Carol Keay Award, an award embodied by a bronze angel sculpted by 
Carol herself (Broken Wings). Carol also endeavored to improve herself and 
others through the Theosophical Society, where she obtained spiritual growth 
and utilized every opportunity to share her love and kindness with everyone 
she could.

Carol’s most beloved and notable accomplishment, however, was being a loving 
wife to her husband of 52 years, Curt William Keay, a devoted mother to her 
three children, Bryan William Keay, Cindy Keay Wicker, and Courtney Keay 
Lindsey, and a cherished grandmother to Brandon William Keay and Brooke 
Elisabeth Wicker. While her physical presence is survived by the family she 
loved, Carol’s soul is now free to enjoy the bounty of spiritual knowledge 
awaiting her as an angel.

Relatives and friends are invited to celebrate Carol’s life at E.J. Fielding 
Funeral Home, 2260 W. 21st Avenue, Covington, LA 70433 on Saturday, May 20, 
2017 with a gathering starting at 1:00 pm and a brief remembrance at 2:00 
pm.

In lieu of flowers, Carol’s family requests donations in memory of Carol to 
be made to the Children’s Advocacy Center-Hope.
