Kay Slaughter Staudt died peacefully on Mother's Day, May 13, 2018 at her home in Jacksonville, Florida. Kay was born February 22, 1936 to Mary Lou and Carleton Abbott in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania.
Kay was an enthusiastic and positive influence on the lives of the many people she touched. She was a wonderful mother to Sam (Anne) Slaughter, Claire (Tom) Joyce and Elizabeth (Jim) Jameson and the beloved wife of Warren Staudt. She loved and was survived by eight grandchildren.
She graduated from Vassar College in 1958 and went on to get her Master's Degree from Temple University. During a teaching career that spanned more than 30 years, she took pride in inspiring her students to love learning as much as she did. "Mrs. Slaughter" treasured her many years teaching at Episcopal High School of Jacksonville. As a high school English teacher, teaching the great works of literature was her primary duty, but connecting with students on a personal level was her true gift.
St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Jacksonville was an important part of Kay's life. She enjoyed singing in the choir and also taught 4th grade at St. Mark's Elementary School. Her love of music started with the piano as a child. Her talent allowed her to play by ear, and a favorite pastime for family and friends was singing around the piano as Kay played. She was a wonderful athlete who enjoyed family games and sports, especially tennis and paddle.
Kay will be missed by her loving family, and also by the lifelong friends she made from her years living in Birmingham, Michigan and Jacksonville, Florida.
