Shirley Koloseike Obituary

To the K family:

Our sincerest condolences to your family at this time of loss. We know that Mrs. K will be terribly missed and fondly remembered by all who knew her.

May God continue to mend your hearts and soothe your suffering in this most difficult time. Our prayers for you are peace and comfort in this time of mourning.

Dear Bill & Family, " Man is indebted first to God and then to woman not only for life, but for making it worth living " In my searching for words, these continued to surface. Shirley's affect on me has, and will remain to be very profound! One can only imagine the effects on a family member, but her life touched virtually everone fortunate enough to have contact with her. Both Morgen and I are devastated, deeply saddened, and send our prayers. With Love, Chuck

Dear Mrs. K,

Little did I know on that August day when our lives crossed that our relationship would grow into a 21-year friendship. You trusted me to make things better, to do it right, and be creative when sometimes it seemed impossible. Your smile, your laughter, your wisdom meant so much to me and to all of those around you. We had lots of fun for which I will always be grateful. Thank you for all those memories and may God bless your family. Hope our paths cross again.

Your friend,

Dave Shaw

To Bill and Mark and the rest of the Koloseike family. I worked for Mr. Kay and Mark at the Tempe store as Office Manager for several years. I am very sorry for your loss. I know it must be very hard and that there isn't anything anyone can say to make it any easier. You are definitely in my thoughts and prayers.

I have worked for "Bill Kay" for five years, altough I never got to know Mrs. Kay over that time,the few occations I did have the chance to see her, she always had a bright and worm smile to share.

My prayers go out to the entire family. May God help you through your loss.

Dear Bill, Mark, Billy, Judy, and Nina, I have such fond memories of all of you from your days in Oak Lawn. I was very sorry to hear of Shirley's passing. She was always a kind friend and neighbor to the Knapps. The article in the Tribune was a beautiful tribute to her. I am sorry for your loss, and you are in my thoughts and prayers. I'm glad I had the chance to know your family. Sincerely, Regina Knapp

Shirley was the most caring and giving person I have ever known. She was like a second mother to me and I will miss her dearly. Our prayers are with Mr. Koloseike and the wonderful Koloseike family.

Mark, Sincerest condolences on the death of your mother. She raised wonderful kids. She will be remembered in the prayers of the Brothers. My sympathy to your dad and brother. Bro. Mahoney

I HAVE ONLY WORKED FOR GSAC FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. I NEVER MET MRS. KAY BUT HEARD GREAT THINGS ABOUT HER.



GOD BLESS MRS. KAY AND HER FAMILY.

STAY STRONG

OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU.

OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS TO YOUR FAMILY. MRS. K IS IN PEACE,IN A BETTER PLACE. WE WILL MISS HER.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you on the loss of Shirley. We all have very fond memories of our childhood and friendship with her. God bless her and etermal peace be with her. Sacred Heart Classmate of 1953 and 1949.

Prior to Mrs. "Kay's" passing, my husband and I reflected on Mr. and Mrs. "Kay's" Christmas Cards. We always enjoy receiving them because they seem to be picked with a purpose. Mr. "Kay" confirmed that Shirley always picked the Christmas Cards. These cards are always beautiful; the main characters are always Mary and the Baby Jesus. One card was a tapestry that I had matted and framed. The others are in my scrapbooks. This year I was going to write a letter to Mr. and Mrs. Kay expressing the joy our family feels when we receive their card. I received the news that Mrs. "Kay" is no longer with us that week at work. The letter never really came out of draft.



This is a wonderful memory of a woman that I never had a chance to know. She always had a moment to smile and say HI at company picnics.



God Bless the Koloseike family and their deep loss.

I have worked for the Bill Kay Auto Group for 8 years, and would see Mrs.Koloseike occasionally. She was always warm and genuine every time we met. My deepest sympathy to the entire Koloseike family.

I MET MRS. KAY ALMOST 7 YEARS AGO, WHEN I STARTED TO WORK FOR HER DAUGHTER, AT ONE THE DEALERSHIPS. BOTH MR. AND MRS. KAY WOULD VISIT OFTEN, AND ALWAYS WOULD STOP WHILE THEY WERE TO SAY HELLO AND CHAT. MRS. KAY WOULD ALWAYS HAVE A SMILE ON HER FACE THAT WOULD LIGHT UP THE ROOM. SHE WILL BE TRUELY MISSED BY ALL.

My sympathy to all of Mrs Koloseike's family. I only had the privilege of meeting her once and found her to be one of the most charming women I have ever met.

I am sure the this loss will effect

many.

God bless and give you peace. The thoughts and prayers of all of us are with you.

All of the prayers and thoughts of the Leo High School family are with Bill and all of his family at this time. Shirley is with Christ and will keep an eye on us from a better place.
