Kay Francis Prince Vest
Kay Francis Prince Vest, age 80 of West Bountiful, UT is now at home with the Lord. She was born July 10, 1943 in Dillon County, South Carolina.
Kay met the love of her life Kenneth Vest in 1960 at her father’s coffee shop where she worked as a waitress.They were married 61 years.
Kay loved the Lord and was always willing to share that love with everyone she met.
She spent endless hours reading her bible, whether it was to residents in nursing homes, a close friend with failing vision or in her quaint living room chair at home. Kay had an unfathomable ability to connect with people. When you were in Kay’s presence you were loved. Kay lived her life in resounding joy. Every moment to her was as precious and beautiful as she was to all who knew her. We will miss her shining smile, tender hugs, meaningful conversations and much more.
Kay is preceded in death by her husband Kenneth, her parents and sister Shirley Faye Prince of Midway, Georgia.
She is survived by her sisters Jean Gail Allen of Dillon, South Carolina, Ginger Prince Frye of Midway, Georgia, her brother Jerry Elbert Prince of Tampa, Florida, several nieces and nephews and many close friends.
Rest easy “Miss Kay,” your love of the lord will carry on through us all.
A celebration of life for Kay will be held on Saturday June 29, 2024 at 11:00 A.M. at Flourishing Grace Church. 390 North 400 East, Bountiful, Utah. (A light lunch will follow.)
