McNEAL, KAY FRANCES GILCHRIST RHEA
Kay died peacefully at her home in Baker on Saturday, March 10, 2007, at
12:05 a.m. surrounded by her two daughters and devoted friends and family.
Her extraordinary wit, strength, zest for life, camaraderie and the ability
to brighten a room by her presence will be remembered with admiration and
love. She was 62, a bookkeeper and held an associate degree in nursing.
Memorial services were private. Kay is survived by her two daughters, Sara
Elizabeth Rhea of Lafayette and Vera Rebecca Rhea and her husband, Neal
Rohan Boyd of Hammond; grandchild, Cohan McCagé Cooper Rhea Stevens of
Lafayette; sister, Vera Gail Hawk; and four brothers, Alvah Eugene, the
Rev. Ramsey Doyle, Milton Wayne and Raiford Ronald Gilchrist. Kay was
preceded in death by her parents, Tilley Lorene Phelps Gilchrist, Ralph
Steadman Gilchrist; and four siblings, Alma Delores Setton, Ralph Louis,
Jerri Lynn and Lorene Gilchrist. The family wishes to express their
gratitude to all of Kay's friends who gave her comfort during her last
days. She went forth surrounded by the praises of little children she loved
- dearly on earth and now infinitely in spirit. May beautiful memories
bring comfort to those who mourn her passing. For memorial:
