Kathleen 'Kay' Spicer Cherrix, 84
DOVER - Kathleen "Kay" Spicer Cherrix, of Dover, died peacefully in her sleep at her daughter's home surrounded by her family members on Friday, Dec. 14, 2007. She was 84 years young.
She was born on May 30, 1923, to the late Curtis M. and Clarabelle Spicer of Oak Orchard.
For many years Mrs. Cherrix was a self-employed beautician who owned and operated Kay's Beauty Salon in Harrington and Milford.
Her favorite pastimes were shopping with her daughters and granddaughters and working in her yard. She had a green thumb with plants and loved growing African violets.
She also loved spending time with family pets Angus, Clancey, Peaches, Rocky, Freedom and Max.
Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by her son, Jerry L. Cubbage; her significant other, Herbert Emerson Moore of Dover; and her beloved Pomeranian, Sugar Baby.
She leaves behind to cherish her memories two daughters, Jo Bergold and her husband Richard of Dover and Siggy Millman and her husband Don of Milton; one son, Barry Dodd and his wife Nancy of Georgetown; six granddaughters, Keri Mitchell and her husband Paris of Milton, Angelia Rosario and her husband Henry of Cambridge, Md., Erica Dodd of Georgetown, Lisa Cubbage of Selbyville and Melissa Knight and her husband Jay of Smyrna; five grandsons, Kenneth Thompson and his wife Tammy of Chattanooga, Tenn., Brett Millman of Milton, Jerry "D.J." Cubbage of Selbyville, George Dodd of Georgetown and Chris Bergold and his wife Cheri of Smyrna; and eight great-grandchildren.
Mrs. Cherrix will be fondly remembered and greatly missed by many special friends and neighbors, especially George and Stephanie Kennedy and family for her great sense of humor and her matter-of-factness.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions to Delaware Hospice, 911 Lotus Plaza, Dover, DE 19901.
To honor the wishes of Mrs. Cherrix, there will be no funeral service. Kay asked that her family and friends have a celebration of her release within their hearts to cherish forever.
Arrangements are by the Torbert Funeral Chapel, Dover.
Letters of condolence may be sent and guestbook signed at www.torbertfuneral.com.
