Kay was a military spouse and lived in various states as she traveled with her husband, Odis Mack Sr. and previous spouse, Fred Yates Sr.
She leaves to cherish her memories: a brother, Russel Hope Jones (Gloria Jean); sister, Francena Nixon (George); two sons: Frederick L. Yates Jr. and Odis Mack Jr.; granddaughters: Angel Glass (Marlon Sr.), Ladonna Mack, Ashley Yates, Lawonna Mack, Stephanie K.

Kay was cared for by her daughters Donna and Betty before their passing, as well as her granddaughters. In her recent years Kay was cared for by her granddaughter Angel Glass, and great-granddaughter Alexzis Glass (who had a special bond) with the support of family. When Kay slept, Alexzis slept, when Kay was awake, so was Alexzis. Kay cherished her memories with her entire family including her siblings, nieces, and nephews. As mom, she cared for our friends by ensuring everyone got to their destinations, whether it be events, games, and parades .
She will be missed by all who love her, and we will cherish every memory by praying as she taught us to do and remaining strong as a family that she loved very much.
