Daughter of Rufus Kay Hardy and Adelaide Underwood Eldredge

Married Alan Barnes Blood, 7 September 1935, Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah

Obituary - KAYSVILLE--Kay Hardy Blood passed away quietly on April 3, 2000, from a brief illness following surgery. She was well enough to spend one day recuperating at her beautiful home before her illness forced her to return to the hospital. She had looked forward to enjoying the spring and summer in the sun on her patio, surrounded by her roses, flowers and trees.

Kay was born March 19, 1910, in Salt Lake City, the only child of Rufus K. Hardy, who was a Member of the First Council of Seventy, and Adelaide Eldredge Hardy. Kay was raised in the Avenues and attended Rowland Hall and the University of Utah, where she graduated in 1932, with a B.A. Degree in Art. She married Alan Barnes Blood, the son of Governor and Mrs. Henry H. Blood, on September 7, 1932, in the Salt Lake Temple. Alan passed away in 1996.Kay loved life. She lit up every room and conversation with her smile, the twinkle of her eye and her laugh. She was generous with her time, her resources and her love. Countless many of us have been touched by some act of her thoughtfulness or generosity. As just one example, her special Halloween treats were known to most of Davis County. In turn, Kay was a grateful recipient of the love and loyalty of many friends and neighbors, Curt Harris, Doug Stanger and others who worked with Alan at The Barnes Banking Company, and her wonderful caregivers.

Kay truly loved every living thing. She befriended and fed every lost cat and dog that came her way (and dozens did come over the years). Her reputation for kindness spread as far in the animal world as in her own.

Kay loved the beauty in her life - her historic home, her garden (and every bug and spider in it), her paintings, the visual and performing arts and great literature. She had a keen eye for great paintings and the desire to help the struggling artist. She was a true patron of the arts, blessing the lives of artists by buying their works of art. Some of her most noted paintings will grace Utah's museums through her generosity. Many of her club activities with her life-long friends involved the study of art and literature. She participated regularly in a sewing club for over 50 years and continued to drive to Salt Lake City alone several times a month for various club meetings. In her earlier years, she created sketches and hand made Christmas cards for her friends.

Kay showed her love of Kaysville through service as a member of the Kaysville Planning Commission and through her support of special projects. Kay also actively served the community as a volunteer and past president of the Neighborhood House and a member of the board of the Pioneer Memorial Theater. Her church service included numerous callings as a teacher and in the Relief Society. Her favorite calling was teaching the three year old Sunbeams.

Kay is survived by her sisters-in-law, Lou Jean McKay Blood and Evelyn Blood Mazuran; brother-in-law, David J. Ellison; and nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews and cousins in the Hardy, Eldredge, Ellison and Blood families.

Funeral services will be held Friday, April 7, 2000, at 2 p.m. at the Kaysville LDS Tabernacle, 200 West Center Street in Kaysville. Friends and family may visit together on Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m. at Lindquist's Kaysville Mortuary, 400 North Main, and at the Tabernacle from 12:30 to 1:45 p.m. prior to services. Interment Kaysville City Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you make a donation to your favorite charity
