Kaye Devillier Kennamer age 57, of Winnie, TX, passed away at Harbor Hospice in Beaumont, TX. on March 28, 2010. She was born on January 27, 1953, in Beaumont, TX.
Kaye graduated from East Chambers High School in Winnie and Lamar University in Beaumont. She was admired for her awesome and varied talents in the arts and the compassion and dedication she brought into those fields. She was always willing to teach and share her knowledge, enjoyed all of her endeavors, and never seemed to tire of living life to the fullest. What she often stated she enjoyed most, however, was being a wife and mother. She was very grateful that she was able to spend the most time possible during her life with her beloved husband, sons and grandchildren.

She is also survived by a large extended family and many associates and friends. All will sorely miss her presence, energy, and the gifts she shared.
