RESIDENT OF LIVERMORE
Long time Livermore resident Kay Olek passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, December 8, 2011. Kay was born to Sidney and Margaret Sexton on April 20, 1929 in Appleton, Wisconsin. The family then moved to Leavenworth Kansas, where Kay graduated from St. Mary's Academy in 1948 and then served in the Army Reserves at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas during the Korean War.
Following her service to her Country, Kay worked for the Veteran's Administration for 30 years in Washington D.C., Leavenworth, Kansas, Fresno, California, and finally Livermore, California, where she retired in 1989.
She is survived by Dennis Olek, her husband of 47 years, her daughter Dee Dee Olek of Livermore, CA and her brother Sidney M. Sexton II of Seagoville, Texas, and her numerous nieces and nephews across the country.
Kay was an active member of the Livermore Eagles Auxiliary, Livermore Oddfellows Lodge, the Livermore Sirettes club, the Livermore Clipper Club and her local NARFE chapter. She truly enjoyed belonging to and working with these organizations and all the wonderful people associated with them.
