Kay (Kellogg) Gordon Obituary (1936

Kay (Kellogg) Gordon, our wonderful mother and grandmother, passed away on August 16, 2022 of Alzheimers. Kay was quiet by nature, but loving and kind to all. She would always remember birthdays and anniversaries and made a special event of her grandchildren's birthdays. Kay was born in Montana, and her family moved to Tacoma, WA when she was a child. She graduated from Lincoln High School and then majored in Elementary Education with a minor in Art from Western Washington University. At Western, Kay met Robert (Bob) Gordon from Edmonton Alberta. They married in 1956 and shortly after moved to Silverdale where they built their home and raised their four children. Kay was highly respected for the thirty years she taught in the Central Kitsap School District. She worked at Chico, Seabeck, and Silverdale Elementary, and later as a Curriculum Specialist until she retired in 1995. Her husband, Bob, died in 1995 and Kay filled her life with family events, and traveling in both the U.S. and overseas. She enjoyed gardening, reading, painting, plays, and theater with her church friends. She was a member of Central Kitsap Presbyterian Church where she volunteered for various programs and projects. Kay was preceded in death by her husband Bob, her parents Harold and Helen Kellogg, and her daughter-in-law Sherrie. She is survived by her sons, daughter and grandchildren, Mitch Gordon, Laura Lutz (Steve), Gregg Gordon, and Rod Gordon (Bev), Scott, Matthew, and Brianne Lutz, Madeline and Jessica Gordon, and her brother Dennis (Jean) of Tacoma. A service for Kay is planned for 1 PM on Sunday, September 11, 2022 at Central Kitsap Presbyterian Church.
