Katherine (Kay) was born June 5, 1910, to John S. and Josephine Burns Hayden in Clovis.

She married Stephen Parker Hoxie, Sr. August 17, 1942, in Providence, RI.

For more than 50 years, Kay resided on family ranches in the Gopher Canyon area of Vista. While there, she was an active member of the Vista Historical Society and attended All Saints Episcopal Church. She also taught at Bonsall Elementary School and assisted her beloved husband in farming and property development in the Gopher Canyon area.

Because her health was failing, Kay returned to Clovis in 1995 to live with her eldest son, Stephen, and his family.

Survivors include sons Stephen Parker Hoxie, Jr. (Dottie), Clovis, and Henry Wayne Hoxie (Pam), San Diego; daughter Judith Ann Hughes (Gary), Bonsall, CA; brothers Glenn and Donald Hayden, Vista; eight grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.

Kay was preceded in death by her parents, John and Josephine Hayden, husband Stephen Parker Hoxie, Sr., brothers Wayne and Burnoit Hayden and sister Florence Ringland.

Arrangements were handled by Muffley Funeral Home, Inc.
