Kaye enjoyed bowling in a couples league with the Young Stirs team from 1988 to 1994, annual fishing trips to Hayward, Wisconsin, trips to Puerto Rico and Hawaii and relaxing on the back porch with friends and family. She was a long time deacon of the United Presbyterian Church in Wisconsin Dells and a lifelong member of the Order of the Eastern Star.
