Kay grew up in Bronx, NY, and was a graduate of St. Helena High School and Misericordia School of Nursing. She married John “Jack” Corr in 1962 in Bronx, NY and together they raised six children and enjoyed a long and happy marriage until his death in 2004.
Kay was a compassionate registered nurse for more than 40 years. Her happiest days as a nurse were spent at Murray-Weigel Hall at Fordham University, where she cared for aged and infirm Jesuit priests.
She was preceded in death by her parents Daniel and Alice Kenny; her twin brother Daniel; and her loving husband Jack.
She leaves her loving memories to be cherished by her brother, Tom (Carol) Kenny of Deerfield Beach, FL; sister Mary (Ed) Dunn of Toms River, NJ; and sister-in-law Barbara Kenny of Buffalo, NY; devoted children Mary (Scott) Withers of Bronx, NY; John of New York, NY; Daniel (Pamela) of Brooklyn, NY; Martin (Patricia) of Bronx, NY; Steven of Syracuse, NY; and Patricia (Daniel) Rivera of White Plains, NY; her thirteen adoring grandchildren Lauren, Michael, Olivia, Emma, Jack, Carly, Daniel, Meaghan, Kerri, Daniel, Juliana, Gabriel, and Alex; and her loving nieces, nephews and numerous other relatives.
She also leaves behind a wonderful group of friends at Oriole Gardens in Margate, FL, whose friendship and support allowed her to continue enjoying life after Jack’s death; the family is so grateful for her time there.
