Kawana Kay Douglas

Kawana Kay Maidon Douglas passed away on Monday, September 25, 2023, at the University of Kentucky Hospital in Lexington, Kentucky. Kay was born on January 14, 1962, in Pineville, Kentucky, to the late Roy “Gene” and Marlene Partin Maidon. Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, Donnie Ray Maidon, and grandparents, Porter and Della North Partin.

Kay’s passion was singing and playing her guitar. She had recorded several cassette tapes and CD’s singing her favorite gospel hymns. Many she had written herself. She sang at hundreds of churches throughout the United States as she loved to travel. At the age of 43 her second passion became a reality when she graduated Southeast Community College as an LPN. She loved taking care of and helping people. Kay had an infectious laugh and a wonderful, humorous personality. If you had the pleasure of knowing Kay, you had the pleasure of knowing a remarkable lady.
