Born on Oct 5th, 1951, she was the second of 6 sisters and 1 brother.
William W Williams Sr and Frances M Lopes, residing in Newport, RI are the parents of this unique family. We were raised with seeds of good faith, love, compassion, and respect for life.

Kay graduated to St Catherine's Academy after 8 years at Hazard Memorial Elementary where she earned her admission to Fisk University and achieved her bachelors in math & economics. With this academic distinction, Kay went on to work for Hughes Aircraft, General Dynamics, Aerojet and was inspired to attend the University of Redlands where she received her MBA. She then completed her career by working for Northrop Grumman. After serving there for 35 years, Kay then retired but not before reaching 3 prestigious plateaus that had not been reached in that company by any woman nor African American.
