Kay Lee Thomsen's Obituary
Kay Lee Thomsen, born February 18, 1946 in Chester, PA, passed away on October 26, 2019, surrounded by her family after a long illness.
A graduate of Chichester High School, Kay was a stay at home mom. In her spare time, she was a twirling and aerobics instructor. Kay helped manage her husband's business until they moved to Lewes, DE in 1985. In 1988, she was diagnosed with cancer. She was determined to beat the disease and watch her two new grandsons grow up. Once in remission, she started a very successful mobile home sales business at the beach, "Kay's Mobile Home Sales". In 2003, she was diagnosed with cancer for a second time. After a long, difficult battle, she was declared to be in remission again.
Kay enjoyed cruising the Caribbean and vacationing in Key West or Hawaii. Over the years, Kay amassed quite a collection of recipes and cookbooks. She will be remembered by her family and friends as loving to cook and entertain.
