Edna and Theodore's last child,
the baby of the family...
Mabel Katherine Federer Dangerfield
Aunt Kay was born December 22, 1939Grandma was 41 and this pregnancy was more difficult for her. However she was so happy to have another daughter!
Grandma was not feeling well so Grandpa took her town. I am not sure where she stayed. Fran and Whitey Christensen, good neighbors and friends took the other children until Aunt Kay was born.
Whitey took some of the children to see Santa at Penney's. They were frightened to death of what they thought was a monster! Aunt Bernice somehow controlled her emotions but Uncle Bub began to scream and hang on to Whitey's leg. He was crying and said, "Please Whitey, don't let him get me!" Whitey just laughed and laughed! I can't imagine my big, tough cowboy uncle afraid of Santa. Well, he was only three!
Aunt Kay was named after Grandma's sister. She was suppose to be Sharon Kay, so she immediately got the nickname Kay.
She had beautiful red hair and penetrating blue eyes. Her brothers did tease her endlessly because of her red hair. Dang boys!

I love this picture of Aunt Kay
with her nephew Jerry!
with her nephew Jerry!
And this darling picture, notice the curl in the middle of her forehead. And when she was good she was very good and when she was bad she was very bad! 
Another picture I love, it shows so much of the early homestead.
Aunt Kay worked many years as a registered nurse. She went to Denver for nursing school. Grandma was sad to have her leave home. She didn't really want any of her children too far away. I know she was very proud of Aunt Kay. She was respected in her field and gave many patients excellent care.
