Kathryn Ann "Kay" Book, 63, went home to be with her Lord on March 26, 2014 following a courageous battle with breast cancer.

Kay was born in Caldwell, Idaho on August 9, 1950 to Charles and Anna Klahr. Kay attended schools in the Caldwell area, graduating from Middleton High School in 1968. Upon graduation from high school Kay started her career by accepting a position at the Idaho Free Press in Nampa. During that year Kay married Eldon Book with whom she shared 45 wonderful years. They began their married life in Nampa, where Kay began a professional career with Hehr International where she was employed for 28 years, holding the positions of Manager of Purchasing, Assistant Plant Manager and Plant Manager. Upon leaving Hehr International Kay joined Lineal Veneer, located in Caldwell where she served as Marketing Manager. Kays new position allowed her to travel nationally and internationally working with wood door and window manufacturers.

Kay was always busy and had many hobbies and interests. However, golf was her favorite. She loved nothing more than to play a round with her friends at Hillcrest Country Club. Kay was also an accomplished quilter, and enjoyed creating personally designed quilts as gifts for friends. Kay loved her home and enjoyed being there, whether working in her flower beds or changing the homes interior dcor. Kay enjoyed sharing her home with others, frequently entertaining friends or family, always as the perfect hostess.

Above all else in life, Kays ultimate passion was her commitment to her Lord and Savior. That personal commitment served as her foundation for how she lived her life, always exhibiting love and concern for others. For those who were blessed to have known Kay, her beautiful smile and warm heart is something they will never forget.

Kay is survived by her husband Eldon Neil Book, her brother Keith Klahr (Ann) Star, Idaho, her sister Karla Maxey, (Charles) Houston, Texas and many nieces and nephews. Though Kay will be dearly missed, her family takes comfort in knowing that she has achieved her lifelong objective, to reside with her Lord.
