Kay was born in Poland, Ontario to Duncan and Barbara McIntosh. She was the eldest of 7 children.
Kay always wanted to be a teacher and when she was done her schooling, she came to the South River area to teach in several one room school houses. She boarded at Frank and
Madeline Coughlin's house where she met Ross. Her last one roomed school house was Glen Roberts, where she taught all her children and many relatives and neighbours! Her last
teaching position was at South River Public School.
Upon retirement, Kay enjoyed painting, crossword puzzles, gardening, going for walks to see wildlife and helping Ross
