Kaye worked Civil Service for over 20 years until she retired while at Brooks Air Force base. She and Ed moved to Miami, Ok where they had met when she was 14. They lived there several years until they decided to become full time RV’rs in 1999. They traveled all across the United States and made many
friends. After almost 15 years on the road, they settled down in a home they built next to their daughter
and son in law. Nothing made her happier than being around her family.
