Kay E. Stroud, 79, residing in Osceola, lost her battle with liver disease after seven years on Saturday, September 19, 2015.

She is also survived by sisters, June Tucker of Mishawaka and Joan Albaugh of Wisconsin; as well as her brother, Jack (Betty) Spillman of South Bend.
Kay loved life and everything about it. Her greatest joys in life were her children and grandchildren. She was not one to sit still for long as she was always taking care of everyone in need. Kay was the Mom and Grandmother everybody wanted. She was also known to make handmade blankets and dresses for her family. She very seldom sat still and was always on the go. Kay had a work ethic that was unsurpassed. She was constantly involved with a project. She owned and operated several businesses throughout her life, including a craft shop, an antique business, a deli and a cleaning service.
