Kay M. Monday's Obituary
Kay Marie Monday, age 75, passed away Tuesday, April 9, 2019 with her family by her side. Rhonda and Shelly had a special connection as mothers and daughters often do. They cared deeply for Kay and were with her through life's joys and challenges. Kay was born in Oshkosh on August 25, 1943, the sixth child of Harold John and Catherine Marie (Hannes) Monday.
Kay attended grade school at Saint Vincent’s, Junior High at South Park and later graduated from Oshkosh High School. She made strong friendships throughout her school career and she continued to foster those friendships throughout her life. Formerly married to Ronald Benotsch, they had three children together. Kay worked at SNC Manufacturing for many years where she acquired a great deal of wonderful friends. In 2009 she retired at the age of 65. Kay enjoyed getting together with her girlfriends on a regular basis whether it was for a matinee, lunch date, or dinner with the birthday club. Kay always came away with an appreciation for how special those friends were in her life. She was a member of Saint Raphael’s Catholic Church and years ago a member of Saint Vincent’s Catholic Church where she was baptized and received her First Holy Communion and Confirmation.
