Elnora "Kay" (Allen) Edwards

Elnora “Kay” (Allen) McConnell Edwards, of Indianapolis (Hamilton County), passed away peacefully with family by her side. She was born November 14, 1942 in Alexandria, IN, daughter of Russell and Naomi (Robertson) Allen.

For a number of years, Kay worked at Hallmark Stores in Anderson, IN. She also was a bartender for Hoadleys, and VFW Post 1552. While at the VFW, Kay hand made an American flag made of poppy flowers, of which she was very proud. Her most recent employment was McDonalds at 96th and Michigan road, where she made many special friends.

Kay enjoyed attending yard sales and thrived on having them as well. She was a member of several bowling leagues in Madison County. She liked playing card games, especially playing poker with family and friends, and visiting the casino. The greatest joy for Kay was spending holidays with her family.  Kay will be missed as she was loved by all who were privileged to meet her.

In addition to her parents, Kay was preceded in death by sisters, Vivian Ault, Jean Hexamer, and Betty Swift; brothers, Max “Bud” Allen, Larry “Joe” (Kay) Allen, Robert “Bob” Allen, and Jerry Lee McConnell, Sr., father of her 3 sons.

She is survived by sons, Marty Joe McConnell, Jerry Lee McConnell, Jr. and wife, Laura (O’Banion) McConnell, and Jeffery Ray McConnell; grandchildren, Lindsey (Eric Ash) McConnell, Madison (Eric Keffer) McConnell, Dylan McConnell, Michael McConnell, Robbie McConnell, Jeffery (Morgan Meineke) McConnell, and Emily McConnell; great-grandchildren, Hayden and Amira; sisters, Doris Balser and Shirley (Ron) Dickinson; many special nieces, nephews, many friends, and special niece, Deanna Tummulty, who was loved like a daughter.

A special thank you to her dear friend, Tasha Evans and her loving family at McDonalds.

A heartfelt thanks to Lindsay McConnell and Deanna Tummulty for loving and caring for Kay in her final days.
