It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Mary Kay Willis Cade on October 21, 2024. Born on July 23, 1955, Mary Kay led a life characterized by her deep love for family, friends and animals as well as a deep appreciation for nature, and a passion for the causes close to her heart.

Mary Kay is survived by her loving daughter, Sandy Kay Nead, her cherished grandchildren, Madalyne Taylor (Brandon), Matthew Taylor (Cera), Charisma Nead and her great-granddaughters, Sophie and Willow. She was predeceased by her beloved husbands, Kerry Willis and Maxwell Cade, as well as her daughter Krystal Willis, and sons, Jason Willis and Kerry Willis Jr.

Mary Kay loved to travel from the beach to the mountains experiencing new places and foods. An avid lover of nature, Mary Kay took pleasure in the tranquility of fishing and the joy of spending quality time with her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Mary Kay was an avid volunteer within schools and her church community Her steadfast dedication to these causes was evident in her actions and her values and willingness to always lend a hand or donation. In her memory, may we strive to continue to give back to our communities with understanding, compassion, and love.

She will be deeply missed by all who knew her, leaving a void that can never be filled. As we mourn her loss, we also celebrate the life of a remarkable woman who touched the hearts of many and left an indelible imprint on this world.

Don't weep at a grave, for she is not there. She had a date to dance and soar high in the skies, a dance of color in the breeze. The dance of the butterflies so sweet and true, a celebration of life, of love, and joy. With every flutter, every hue a kaleidoscope of memories, transcending the years, a tribute to the life we once knew. They say when you see a butterfly, it is someone you love who has passed. A symphony of wings, a chorus of praise, for the life well-lived, and love that knew no bounds. No longer a caterpillar upon this earth, but upon the wings of butterflies, she now has her angel wings.
