After graduating from Redford High School, she went on to get her Bachelors of Education from Eastern Michigan University. Kay was a teacher at Hilbert Jr High in the Redford School District, teaching English and Home Economics. She was loved by students and kept many of her letters and gifts from them. Kay also worked for a time at a Cadillac dealership in Ann Arbor in the leasing department. During a hiatus from teaching, she received a nursing degree from Schoolcraft College and worked as an LPN at Sinai Grace Hospital. Kay married Martin (Gil) Davis and had one son who was very precious to her, Glenn Davis. After separating from Gil, she married Harold Grigg in 1985. Both Harold and Glenn predeceased Kay.
