Kay Elaine Harms (1942 - 2019)

Jetmore – Surrounded by family and friends, Jesus took Kay Harms by the hand and led her home in the early morning hours of Friday, April 12, 2019 in Jetmore, Kansas. She was 76 years old. Kay Elaine Harms was born on November 5, 1942. She grew up on a farm along the Pawnee Creek in the North Roscoe township of rural Hodgeman County. She was guided in life by her parents, J. Olin Vieux and Leona Maye (Cook) Vieux. She attended Keroma Country School in North Roscoe and graduated from Jetmore High School. Before she had children, Kay worked as a nurse's aide at Penrose Hospital in Colorado Springs and later at the Jetmore Hospital. She was a member of the Sew-and-So Club and Jetmore Booster Club. Later in life, she worked for USD 227 as a high school cook and bus driver. Kay had a secure faith in God and was a member of the Jetmore United Methodist Church, cell group, and enjoyed helping with the Journey to Bethlehem. She was involved in 4H for most of her life and loved the county fair. She loved watching her kids and grandkids in various sports and other events in which they were involved. She was a fixture in her red stadium seat at Jetmore ballgames and always had her lawn chair front and center during the summers at the ball diamonds. She drove the activity bus for many years for several generations of Shorthorns and Longhorns. Kay met challenges in her life with determination and strong will. She had sincere empathy for others and loved to laugh until she cried.

Kay will be deeply missed by her family, amoung whom include Pride Ag Resources employees, sons; Vaughn Harms and wife, Julie of Jetmore, KS; and Brandon Harms and wife, Trisha of Jetmore, KS. And grandsons Chipper Harms, Brennan Harms and Will Crabill.
