Kay Murphy-O’Flynn

1919 - April 19, 2017

Passed away at home last Sunday in the late morning with family at her side.

Born in Milestone, Saskatchewan, Canada, Kay has been joyously San Franciscan since 1942, living her last 60 years in the Cow Hollow neighborhood. She was the proud, supportive and loving mother of Greg (Deborah), Brian, Mark (Rita) and Terence O’Flynn, and grandmother of Chelsea and Riley.

A true and inspired original, Kay touched the lives and hearts of many during her rich time on earth. She responded with a hearty “Yes!” to the call of her Life’s Adventure, embracing life with an open heart, open mind and forever positive attitude and outlook. Kay was adventurous, artistic, free spirited, stylish, generous, loving, supportive and kind. An inspired mother , entrepeneur, artist, writer, world traveler, journalist , leader, career woman, business owner, she was a pioneer visionary ahead of her time.

Blessed with a unique poetic perspective on life born from a rich inner vision and imagination, she loved and was inspired by the beauty she found in the world and the people within it. Kay was simply a creative force.
