She was accomplished as an artistic clothing designer, a maker of “dragon boxes,” a creator of pet toys, and as a writer, editor and publisher of books of personalized story telling.

A caring and loving mother, a loving daughter, sister, and aunt, a faithful friend and one always available with cut-to-the-chase words of wisdom, Chay will be missed by many who were blessed top know her. A CELEBRATION OF HER LIFE will be held in December. Please check on this website in early December for details.
