Attending several different schools, and graduating from Richmond Union High School in January 1953 in Richmond, Ca, she changed her name to Kay Edith Stumpf after marrying Ronald Stumpf on February 5, 1955. She loved people, especially children, and volunteered for kid’s programs, park recreation, 4H Club, swimming, and coaching.

Finally attending college to become a teacher, Kay graduated the same year as her oldest son Ron, a high school graduate. She taught and coached at the Esparto schools where all four of her children attended. Retiring after 20 years, Kay started doing things she didn’t have time for while working.

Very active, her many hobbies included reading, crosswords, quilting, bowling, tennis, volleyball, camping, and playing piano. She was a member of Philanthropic Educational Organization (PEO), volunteered for many organizations including Umpqua Discovery Center, local libraries, hospitals, and sang in her church choir. While in Grangeville, she was instrumental in establishing the Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Store. Kay enjoyed traveling the US and other countries including Germany, Ireland, Italy, Panama and Mexico. An exemplary human being loved by all, she lived by and taught the Golden Rule.

Kay passed peacefully in her sleep January 18, 2026. She was preceded in death by her father, mother, oldest son Ronald Jr, sister Eva, brother Dan, sister Myra, brother Richard, and several nieces and nephews. She is survived by her husband Ron Sr., son Dennis (Tawnya), daughter Tracy (John), daughter Jenny (Miguel), sister Dona, sister Sandra, nine grandchildren, seven great grandchildren, and two great-great grandchildren.
