Always an adventurer, Kay later lived in Anchorage, Alaska, before returning to Carson City in the 1950s. In 1958 she married Leon Etchart and had a son (Peter). After Leon's death in 1967, Kay worked for the Carson City School District as a cook until her retirement. Kay attended First Presbyterian Church for most of her life. She was also very involved with many organizations including Beta Sigma Phi, TOPS, Frontier Travel Club, and the Model "A" Ford Club.
