She earned her bachelor's degree in sociology from Texas Woman's University in 1996.
She moved to Sanger in 1995, and there she co-owned Art Deco Con, a stained concrete company, with her husband Steve. Kay also was into political activism and continued to be involved with it even after she declined in health.
She was preceded in death by her parents and husband of over 20 years, Steven Parrott.
She is survived by her sons, Christopher Lane of Enid, and Matthew Lane and wife Toni of Dover, Okla.; daughter, KayCee Parrott of Denton; sister, Betty Cox of Enid; brothers, Stephen Van Hauen Jr. of Albuquerque, N.M., and Jack Van Hauen of Keller, Texas; and her grandchildren, Memory and Illyana Lane.

The family would like to thank the people at Senior Care of Denton, Hospice Plus and close friends for their love and support, particularly within the last few weeks.
