Kathryn “Kay” Grace Bacon, 76, of Sturgeon Bay, formerly of Brussels, died Sunday, Jan. 14, 2018 at her home with family at her side.

She was born April 14, 1941 in Chicago, IL, the daughter of the late Andrew Thomas Pickert and Rose Ann (Crifassi) Pickert.

Kay also worked for Scaturo’s Baking Co. and Cafe in Sturgeon Bay and Door County Coffee & Tea Co. in Carlsville.

She was a member of St. Francis & St. Mary Parish in Brussels. Kay was the “best mom ever” to her children and sacrificed a lot for her family. She liked cooking and baking, living on the farm, and loved singing at home around her family, especially to her children.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Andrew and Rose Pickert; and two brothers and one sister, Daniel “Danny” and Michael “Mickey” Pickert and Mary (Charles “Chuck”) Hayes.

At her request, private services will be held at Huehns Funeral Home in Sturgeon Bay with Rev. Anthony Birdsall officiating. Burial will be in St. Francis Xavier Cemetery in Brussels.
