September 13th, 1937 - April 28th, 2025
Virginia Kay Remillard went to be with the Lord on Monday, April 28, 2025 at the age of 87. She was born in Kimberly, Idaho on September 13, 1937 to her late parents Merven Wesley Reed and Evelyn Hope Freeborn Reed.
Virginia, who went by "Kay", was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She and her husband Dick, raised three sons mostly in Kent, WA, and made many wonderful friends while attending the Kent Nazarene Church for over 30 years. Kay also worked as a key-punch operator, data entry clerk and customer service representative for several companies, including Puget Sound Energy, Washington Natural Gas, and Boeing. After retiring, Kay and her husband settled in Yelm, WA. There, she was a devoted member of McKenna Community Church for over twenty years where she headed up the Operation Christmas Child Shoebox project for several years. Kay often mentioned McKenna Community Church as her second family. She also attended the Christian Women's Club in Yelm for many years.
Kay had several passions. She was always up for traveling. She traveled all over the United States including multiple cross-country trips by car with her young family. She also ventured on multiple international trips to Europe, Asia, Africa, and Central America. Kay also volunteered for several disaster relief projects with Samaritans Purse. Kay loved music and loved to sing. She sang with several choirs over the years, and even performed at Carnegie Hall.
Kay is survived by her sons, Harlan David Remillard (Michelle), Daryl Thane Remillard (Susie), and Wesley Dean Remillard (Donna), her 6 grandchildren, and 5 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her younger brother, John Wesley Reed. She is preceded in death by her husband, Dolord "Dick" Remillard, her parents Merven and Hope Reed, and her older sister, Joalyn Sue Smith.
