Kathryn “Kay” Ann Forman died at Peninsula Hospital in Burlingame, California on April 18, 2015. Memorial services will be held on Friday, May 29, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. at Trinity Presbyterian Church, San Carlos, CA.
Kay was born in Boise, Idaho on August 16, 1948, to Robert and Nellie Yundt. Several years later she moved to Prineville, Oregon, where her brother and sister were born. In 1957, the family moved to San Mateo, California. Kay graduated from San Mateo High School in 1966. She worked for United Airlines from 1969 until her retirement in 2001. While working in Reservations with United she met the love of her life, Dwight Forman. They were married on March 13, 1971. They enjoyed forty-four years of marriage and took numerous exciting vacations, traveling around the globe as well as seeing most of the United States.
Kay had a knack for accomplishing anything that she set her mind to. This included artwork, swimming, sewing, cross-stitching, writing, playing the piano, reading and dancing. She loved to write poetry and personalize it for those she loved. Her family thought she was accomplished at all of these things; however, she would say that her greatest accomplishments were her marriage to Dwight, her two children and her eight grandchildren. She loved them dearly.
Kay will be remembered for the way she made strangers into friends. She was comfortable chatting with anyone anywhere at any time. She was a great conversationalist and humorist. She loved a good joke and enjoyed celebrating any and all holidays. From her childhood Kay exhibited a deep faith in God, which was evidenced by the way she cared for people and fought for fairness and justice. In her later years her faith increased and she devoted more time to reading about and sharing the love of God.
Kay was predeceased in death by her parents. She is survived by her husband, Dwight, her children, Gabrielle Forman of Fresno, California with five grandchildren, Erik Forman (Laura) of Brandon, South Dakota with three more grandchildren, her brother, Joseph Yundt (Joelle) of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and sister, Marie Kinkaid (Dan) of Boise, Idaho.
The family is very appreciative of the excellent loving care given to Kay by the staff of numerous medical institutions during these last few years. So many went beyond the call to give her not only excellent medical attention but personal peace and comfort as well.
