About	Kay F. Nolan (nee Nelsen) was called into God’s loving arms on Friday, September 27, 2019 at Froedtert Hospital in Wauwatosa, WI, surrounded by her loving family. Kay is survived by Bob, her husband of almost 49 years and her beloved children – Tim (Julie) Nolan, Amy (Eric) DeWald, Lynn (Mike) Kane, and Lisa (Michael) Napieralski. She will be deeply missed by her 11 cherished grandchildren: Emily, Ryan, Carlin and Josephine Nolan, Gabriel, Anja and Samuel DeWald, Lexie, Zach and Jake Kane, and Dylan Napieralski. She is further survived by her dear sister, Bonnie (Tom) Romano, and her sisters-in-law, Annette (the late Jim) Nolan and Donna (the late Charles) Peterson, along with many nieces, nephews, cousins, neighbors and countless precious friends. Kay was born to the late Richard and Frances Nelsen on July 27, 1943 in Kenosha, WI, the oldest of two children. She moved to Villa Park, IL while she was in elementary school and she graduated from Willowbrook High School. She attended Northern Illinois University (NIU) and always loved working with numbers. Kay met her husband, Bob, at a family anniversary party. They were married on October 17, 1970 at Community Congregational Church in Villa Park, IL. They would have celebrated their 49th wedding anniversary in just a few weeks. Kay and Bob lived in Kansasville, WI after they were married and then moved to New Berlin, WI where they raised their four children. Kay joined Bob in the family business – Nolan Accounting Center – where she assisted Bob in creating a successful accounting and tax preparation business.
