Kaye had many interests and pursuits; her favorite time was the 40 years she spent volunteering for the Republican Party. She was a delegate to the Republican national conventions, both in Oklahoma and throughout the nation. She was invited to the White House by President Nixon, where he recognized her service to the party. She grew up just a few miles from Dixon, Illinois, where President Reagan grew up. When they met once at a convention and she told him so, he was very pleased. When they met again at a later convention, he remembered, saying "Well! Hello Carbondale!", and she was very pleased. Her work in the Republican Party is documented in Who's Who in the Southwest. She lived through many changes of the 20th century, from riding in a horse and buggy with her grandmother going into town, to watching the Mars probes. In an interview once, she said that of all she had experienced, her family had the greatest value to her. Survivors include three daughters, Gene Ellen Chappell and Mary Relph Montgomery of Oklahoma City and Rosalind Meyer of Osage, Arkansas; five grandchildren, Aaron, Gabriel, Lisa, Zachery and Sarah; six great grandchildren, Brandy, Sydney, Michele, Jacob, Ian and Klohe; and a great great granddaughter, Sophie Jane. Her granddaughter, Hannah, preceded her in death.
