Funeral services will be 2:00 PM, Saturday, June 20, 2026, in the Chapel of Leavitt Funeral Home with Mr. Ken Caulder.

The family will greet friends one hour prior to the service at the funeral home on Saturday.

Kay was born April 6, 1958, in Anson County, NC and was a daughter of the late Gene K. Moore and the late Rebecca Funderburke Moore. She was a 1976 graduate of Bowman High School.

She loved children and helping care for them. This was evident in her career path, as she had worked at Happy Days Day Care in Peachland and Tabernacle Christian School in Wadesboro. She often helped others out by keeping children in her home. She retired from Anson County School System, having worked at Peachland Polkton Elementary School in the cafeteria and she dearly loved the students there.

Kay enjoyed cooking, baking and gardening. Watching movies and television shows on her tablet was also a favorite pastime. She dearly loved her family and spending time with them. Vacationing at the beach was always a highlight of her life.

She had gentle way about her and was soft spoken. Her beautiful countenance and smile would light up any room she was in.

Dearly loved by all her family, those who are left to cherish her memory are her husband of 46 years, Neal Thomas; her sons and daughters-in-law, Mike and Mandy Thomas of Dallas and Eric and Macarena Thomas of Matthews; her grandchildren, Kade Jefferies, Katherine Claire Thomas, Callie Jefferies, Kathryn Jefferies, and Clarke Thomas; her grand-dogs that she loved very much, Trixie and Crane; her brother and sisters, Stephen Moore of Charlotte, Mary Ann Moore of Union County and Norma Jean Kelly and husband, Steven of Morven; her brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Gary and Anna Thomas of Ansonville, Donna and Mitchell Cox and Curtis and Earline Thomas of Peachland, Virginia Gail Edwards, Eugene and Gail Thomas, Douglas and Joann Thomas of Marshville and Lorraine Jenkins of Pageland, SC and her nieces and nephews and their families from both of the Moore and Thomas families.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her nephew, Franklin Jones and by her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Jack and Willetta Thomas.
