It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of their beloved Jennifer Kay Nelson age 57, of Tucson, Arizona. After an extended illness Kay was taken to Millersburg, Ohio last May and admitted to Sycamore Run Nursing Home where she passed on Sunday March 17, 2013. Kay was born to Ronald W Young and Janice A Davis on August 21, 1955 and grew up with her mother, stepfather Robert Dobbins and sisters Ann, Ellen and Maureen in Ohio before moving with her husband and children to Tucson to be near her father and his side of the family. Kay worked as a medical assistant for more than 30 years in the Geriatric practice of Dr John Pifer where she was known to go out of her way to help the patients by providing transportation, shopping, running errands and even cleaning their homes. Kay was a devout Christian with a strong spirit of service and kept busy by helping those in need; she attended Casas Adobes Baptist Church for many years. Kay is survived by her father Ronald W Young, mother Janice A Dobbins, her sisters Ann (Lyman) Dawson, Ellen (Ed Bakerlis), Carrie, Chris and brother Kipp, her husband Arthur and their sons Arthur II and Jeremy, her grandchildren Keegan, Arthur III, Kyleigh, Nikole, Dillon and Mia. Kay was preceded in death by her mom Nancy L Young, her sister Maureen Hendrix, grandparents James and Flo Lynch, and grandparents Esther Skeeles and Walter Young. The memorial service and interment were held on March 20th at Sherwood Memorial Gardens in Wooster, Ohio. We love you Kay and may you rest forever in His peace.

She was there when i needed her
My name is Koleen Otis-Wisher. I am her son Artie's first wife. Kay took me in while Artie was in juvinile hall. She was so kind to me. She treated me like a daughter when my own family had disowned me. She helped me through dealing with depression and an eating disorder. She was always an ear to listin to me. She supported me and was so kind. I raised her grand daughter Keegan. I feel bad because i took Keegan away and moved to NY. I had to get away from Artie and save Keegan. I know that Kay loved Keegan and me. I always felt bad for taking away Keegan but if it consoles Kay keegan looks just like her. She is a spitting image of Kay. Shge has a heart like Kay. She has values like Kay. She is a good young woman. Kay can know look down and see Keegan all she wants and help Keegan through all of her struggles. She needs Kay's guidance now. I hope that Kay wraps her arms around her and helps her. zKeegan has Kays smile and is small like Kay was. I know that Kay is with her and that consoles me. She may have missed Keegan growing up but she is with her now. I love you Kay and Keega needs your love and guidance. Please be witrh her and help her. Spread your wings and wrap them tightly around her please. You are so loved and missed. You were a good woman. You are greatly missed and we need your help from heaven. Keegan and I love you. Find your way.... Koleen and Keegan
PIcking out your own presents...
It was 2008, Nana and I went shopping and we saw all the things I wanted for Christmas. I told Nana that these were the things I wanted and she just rolled her eyes. I begged and begged and she finally said yes and we went through all the aisles and I picked out all the things that I wanted. Then we went home and I helped her rap my own presents. Best Nana Ever!! You will always be in my heart!! You will be Forever Missed!!R.I.P Nana and wait for all of us in heaven!! Watch over and protect all of us please!!
Love,
Kyleigh
Touching gift
For my birthday one year after I had already opened most of my presents Aunt Kay walked in and casually handed me a gift - I was shocked when I opened it to find it was the exact game I had wanted the most- I didn't realize she even knew that I wanted it or where to find it. Aunt Kay blew my mind...and it turned out to be one of the best games I played.
