Kay Loysen, patron of the arts
Kay Loysen of Ocean View, alumna of Jamaica High School and Alleghany College, proud member of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority, passed away peacefully while surrounded by family at Beebe Healthcare in Lewes Sunday, Aug. 26, 2018.
Hers was an active life, filled with world travel, tennis, lifelong learning, family and friends. Kay was a patron and avid supporter of the local arts community to include the Rehoboth Beach Film Society and Clear Space Theatre Company. She was a Mah Jongg player and mentor, a NYT crossword aficionado, and a long suffering but recently rewarded Caps fan.
Kay is predeceased by her parents, Catherine and Allan Davis; and her stepfather Edward G. Mercier. She is survived by her five children (Susan, Karen, Kristin, Christopher and Erik) and five granddaughters (Megan, Anna K, Jude, Simone and Lucie).
Plans for a celebration of Kay’s life will be announced at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution to one of Kay’s favorite passions: Fierberg Student Film Award through the Rehoboth Beach Film Society, Osher Life Long Learning at the University of Delaware or the Delaware SPCA.
Arrangements are being handled by Parsell Funeral Homes & Crematorium, Clarksville Chapel, Ocean View.
