<h3><strong>Katherine “ Kay” Roberta Terrill Tscherfinger</strong>
August 1, 1929 - February 6, 2018</h3>
Kay was raised in Texas and proudly lived there most of her life.

She graduated from the University of Washington where she enjoyed fellowship with her sorority sisters of Alpha Phi. Following college, she met her husband, Robert “Bob” Tscherfinger, while working in New York City.  They returned to Texas, married, and raised their family while Kay was active in her church and community. They retired to Sarasota, Florida many years ago to enjoy golf and tennis. Married for 54 years, she was preceded in death by her husband in 2007. Kay moved to Sun City Center to be near her daughter and grandson.

She is survived by her loving daughter, Ellen Tscherfinger, grandson, Brandon Bonnette, loving friend, Don Koester, sister, Nan Sawyer and niece Karen Olds.

Kay was a life force! She brightened any room she entered and never met a stranger. Her enthusiasm was sincere and her love unconditional. She was a vibrant, happy person with a love for life and adventure. The world is a better place because of her, and she will be dearly missed by all that knew and loved her.

There will be a “Celebration of Life” on March 24, 2018 between the hours of 2 to 4 p.m. at the home of her daughter Ellen in Sun City Center.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Kay’s name, to Lifepath Hospice Sun City Center or St. Andrew Presbyterian Church, Sun City Center. Arrangements by Zipperer’s Funeral Home.
