Kay Moscrip
March 22, 1930 ~ September 21, 2017
Kathryn Marie 'Kay' Moscrip died peacefully on Thursday, September 21, 2017 after a brief illness. She was 87. As was Kay's way, she was active and full of life right up until she became ill. Kay loved her family, bicycling, gardening, antiques and her exercise classes.
She is survived by her loving companion of many years, Fred Schindler of Cedar Rapids, her son Karl (Kathy) Moscrip of Marion, daughter Kim Novak of Denver, CO, sister Dolores A. Miessner of Cedar Rapids and brother Don Kacer of Des Moines. She is also survived by grandchildren Amber Moscrip, Kate (Dan) Holtkamp, Kyle Moscrip (fiancee Leesa Cadwallader) and Jacob Novak. Kay was especially thrilled with the arrival of her first great-granddaughter, Taylor Holtkamp.
She was preceded in death by her parents and her son, Walt Moscrip of Madison, WI.
Kay was born March 22, 1930 to Ruby and Ed Kacer, graduated from Wilson High School in 1948 and married Walter 'Bud' Moscrip in 1949. They later divorced. She and Fred met on the bike trail and enjoyed many happy years together. She will be greatly missed.
Kay requested that there be no funeral service. A celebration of life for family will be held at a later date.

I can not believe this!! Kay was so regular at coming to workout at The M.A.C. (New Image Fitness and Gym) She has been with us since April 1988. She never looked her age. She was always so young and vibrant to all. So sorry to hear this. She was a wonderful lady.

I was privileged to have Kay in my Water Aerobics class that I taught at The MAC. She was one hard worker! She came to be a dear friend over the years as well. I am saddened to hear this news. Keeping the family in my thoughts and prayers. Gina Kaufman
I got to know Kay at the MAC Extreme Water Aerobics. She stood beside me. We were always in the short end of the pool. She was early to class and greeted us as we stepped into the pool. I enjoyed her bicycle stories with Fred. She was a lady with up-to-date fashion and remainded very youthful. My thoughts and prayers to her family.
Kay was so enjoyable to be around in the MAC water aerobics class. I admired her for her bike riding in Chicago with Fred. She always said how much she enjoyed being on a bike. We have missed her in class but will always have good memories of her. My sympathy to all her family.

I knew Kay from water aerobics at the MAC. So sorry for your lost. I admired Kay so much and always told her, she was my roll model. She certainly never looked her age and seemed indestructible. Will miss her smiling face. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
