Kay Ross Geller

February 18, 1951 - June 18, 2021

Kay Ross Geller, 70, of Memphis, passed away on June 18 after a life filled with happiness. She was born on February 18, 1951 in Clarksdale, Miss, the daughter of Jack and Natalie Ross. She is survived by her loving husband of 37 years, Mike Geller; sons Phillip Geller of Memphis and Clay Scholz-Geller (Jessica) of Milwaukee; brother Jack Ross (Dorene) of Gainesville, Fla.; brothers-and sisters-in-law Randy and Joan Covitz of Lenexa, Kan., and John and Linda Gorman of Overland Park, Kan., and many nieces and nephews. A graduate of Stephens College in Columbia, MO, Kay served in the communications office for a Mississippi congressman in Washington, D.C, before meeting Mike and devoting her life to raising a wonderful family. She was a Grizzlies season ticket holder and enjoyed chocolate in the fourth quarter to ensure victories. She enjoyed traveling with Mike’s sisters and spouses to Mexico and most anywhere with a beach. She was excited when her brother purchased a condo in Palm Coast, Fla. Perhaps the highlight her trips was two days of Centre Court at Wimbledon. After the children were grown, she worked as a 211 representative at the Memphis Library. Kay and Mike later owned the Doc Popcorn franchise in Memphis. Funeral services will be 10:30 a.m. Sunday, June 20th at Anshei-Sphard Cemetery (Airways Blvd).
