Kay was born July 26, 1955 in Ranger to C.W. Williamson and Pat (Steddum) Williamson. She graduated from Eastland High School and Cisco Jr. College Cosmetology School. She married Allan Lewis on June 30, 1973 in Desdemona. She was a hairdresser for many years, as well as helping her family in Lewis & Sons Cemetery Service. Kay was a proud homemaker, who believed children are the greatest blessing in life, and considered being a mother and grandmother her greatest accomplishment.  Her favorite times in life were family “get-togethers”  and holidays with family.  Her favorite past time was talking about her kids, grandkids and “adopted grandkids”  to anyone who would listen.  Kay was a proud Eastland Maverick alum, who never missed a Class of ‘73 Reunion.  Kay never met a stranger and made friends with everyone she met.  She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her mother.

Williamson; 3 sons, Bradley Lewis, Matthew Lewis, and Tyrell Lewis; 3 brothers, Tommy Williamson and wife Yvonne, Lawton Williamson and wife Sheila, and Marty Williamson and wife Christi; a sister, Peggy Rhyne and husband Danny; 2 granddaughters, Shilah Lewis and Tarissa Lewis, as well as their mother, Stephanie Clark; 3 honorary grandchildren, Damien Zane Rhyne, Cameron Rhyne, and Grace Osteen; and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.
