 Kay was born June 12, 1938, in Pascagoula, to Allen Minor Brown and Condolaura Flechas Brown. She was raised in Pascagoula and attended our Lady of Victories Catholic School and Pascagoula High School.  She graduated from Pascagoula High School in 1956. Upon graduation, Kay joined the religious order of the Sisters of the Most Holy Sacrament in Lafayette, LA, and eventually taught at several Catholic Schools in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
