Kay Cecile Moorer Stevens, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend, passed away on June 13. Kay was born on Friday the 13th of August 1937, in Selma, Alabama, to Cecil and Kitty Moorer. She graduated from Selma High School and then received a degree in education from the University of Alabama. She was a proud member of the Phi Mu sorority.

After college and a short teaching stint in Pensacola, Florida, Kay went to Dreux Air Base near Paris, France, and taught at the American School for the United States Department of Defense. While in France, she met the love of her life, Lt. R.H. “Steve” Stevens. They had an exciting courtship there and married a year later at the American Cathedral on Georges V Avenue in Paris near the Champs-Elysee.

Kay and Steve moved to Houston where Kay taught world history at Memorial High School and then Westchester High School. She quit teaching to stay at home and raise her two daughters, Courtney and Elizabeth. Her girls were her No. 1 priority until the day she died.
