Biography: Kay Lynn Luplow, age 78, of Little Rock, AR went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, June 18, 2016. She passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family. Born Kay Lynn Keese, she was preceded in death by her parents, Charles and Elizabeth Keese, her brother Phillip, her Memaw and her Aunt Eloise. Kay was a Gold Jacket at Little Rock High School when she graduated in 1955. She won the title of Miss Little Rock in 1957 and attended Little Rock Junior College and the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville where she was a very proud member of Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority. She worked as a medical technologist at Baptist Health where she was a registered ASCP for over 35 years and where she had the honor of being selected to be a part of Baptist?s first bone marrow transplant team. Kay joined St. Paul United Methodist Church in 1968 and was a member of the choir, as well as an integral part creating all the existing stained-glass windows surrounding the sanctuary. During her freshman year of college, 1957, she met her husband Bill Luplow, and on June 8, 2016, they celebrated 58 years of marriage. She is survived by her husband Bill, two children, Britt (Wendy), Lynn (Keith), her 5 grandchildren, Lance, Katelyn, William Parker, Elle and Jenna and her two great grandchildren, Ava and Landon. Her grandchildren were her greatest joy. Visitation will be at Ruebel Funeral Home on Wednesday, June 22, 2016 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. A memorial service will be at St. Paul United Methodist Church, 2223 Durwood, Little Rock, AR on Thursday, June 23, 2016 at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, the family would like donations to be made in Kay?s name to Arkansas Hospice, 14 Parkstone Circle, North Little Rock, AR 72116 or St. Paul United Methodist Church.

Bill, Lynn, and Britt, I am so sorry we were not able to attend the service for Kay. We smile just to think of all the fun we had together for many years in the lab at Baptist! She was bright spot everyday! She was a true friend to everyone who had the good fortune to know and love her! Know we are keeping you in our prayers and she will always have the bright smile and be laughing!

Dear family of Kay,
The Lord + is with you in this time of sorrow and also my thoughts and prayers remain with each of you.
God blessed this family with Kay and I have never known a more genuine, kind and loving person.
God blessed Kay with not only physical beauty but even more important an inner beauty that exuded from her very presence.
My Catholic faith teaches that Kay's life has not ended only changed.
Kay passed through death and met "The Resurrection," Jesus, Our Lord.
Entering into the spiritual world which is invisible but always with us, Kay remains with each of you.
May each of you be filled with the grace and peace of God and may Kay's soul rest in the peace of God.
Blessings to all,
Ginger Crews

It never took anyone long to realize Kay was a very special lady, with a captivating smile and a talent to make others feel special; and although our paths parted after college, I have never forgotten what great people you were. I hope it helps in some small way to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Bill and family,

You are in my thoughts and prayers. Kay always brought a smile to our faces in the Histology area of the lab. She was always an uplifting person. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with her. I hope that you find peace in the days to come.

Dear Bill and Family,

Kay and I have been friends since we were ten years old. Kay was a treasured friend and I will remember her until I enter heaven to see her again. Kay was an outstanding young lady and each of you can say from the depths of your heart, "She was the kindest and most loving wife and mother anyone could possibly have."

Bill, I know your heart is breaking, but all the wonderful memories you have of Kay will always be with you."

Love From The Depths of Our Hearts,
Gilbert and Jan Rainey

Kay was such a wonderful lady, who I truly loved and admired. That smiling face every time I came to church with my Mom. She will definitely be missed. She is singing her heart out in Heaven and being greeted by my parents, Bill and Bernice Orr. I can remember her writing me a recommendation for Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority when I went to the University back in the late 60s. She is at peace.

Peace and Blessings to your family.

Dear Bill and family,

My heart aches for all of you. Kay was such a vibrant and loving person, and whose smile lit up a room! She lifted everyone up with her kindness and cheerfulness, and was always there if you needed a hug or just a hand to hold.

May God wrap his loving arms around you and give you strength and peace.

With much love and sympathy,
Sharon (Orr) Moskwiak
