On Thursday, Jan. 13, Kay Fern Lidgett was met at the pearly gates by her husband of 65 years, Gene W. Lidgett, who had been waiting two years and five days to have that cup of coffee she promised him. Also meeting her for coffee that evening were her parents, Margaret and Lloyd Bonebrake; her brother, and sister-in-law, Duke and Marilyn Bonebrake.
Kay was born on St. Patrick’s Day in 1938 at Bryant, S.D., and raised on the family farm. She would later meet her future husband while attending a school dance.
