Kay E. Johnson

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Kay Ellen Johnson, who left us on March 24, 2025, at the age of 79. Beloved by many, Kay was a cherished Mom, Grandma, Aunt, Cousin, and friend.  Born on January 5th, 1946, the daughter of Bert and Geraldine ‘Sis’ Eisenhut, she grew up in Racine, celebrating her Horlick High School 60th class reunion last fall with many great friends & classmates.

 Kay found great enjoyment spending time with her many friends & family, especially card & dice games. Yahtzee, MahJong, Bunco, Cribbage, & Euchre were some of her favorites.  A true sports fan, she loved watching the Packers and her kids & grandkids participating in sports.

Kay is survived by her children Wendy Cain (Ted), Jennifer Kolp (John), Dennis Johnson (Marcy), Grandchildren Terry Cain, Maggie Cain, Jennell Kolp, Austin Johnson, and Hadley Johnson.  She is further survived by Nieces, Nephews, Cousins, other relatives, and many dear friends.  Her spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew her, she always had a smile we will never forget.

Kay is preceded in death by her parents, Sister Karen Lofquist, Niece Julie Nelson, and loving Granddaughter Jacque Kolp. 

Kay’s family would like to extend a very special thank you for the love and care from the staff at Aurora Home Healthcare, Hospice, and all the kindhearted people who recently called and visited.
