Kay was born July 9, 1935, in Marshfield to John F. and Isabel J. (Schmidt) Kirschner. She married Wally Henseler on June 4, 1955, at Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church in Marshfield. Together they raised five children. They lived their entire married life in Marshfield except for a few years from 1958 to 1960, when they lived in Oconomowoc, WI. Kay has missed Wally dearly, since his death on December 12, 2018. Kay worked as a Medical Assistant at the Marshfield Clinic from 1953 to 1958 and then again from 1960 until 1963. After her children became more independent, she started working at Kmart until 1997, when she retired. Kay was a member of Our Lady of Peace Church. She has very fond memories of spending a week every summer as a child on her grandparent's farm where she developed a fondness for pigs and honeybees. She has enjoyed gardening, rock and stamp collecting, photography, poetry, especially Robert Frost, writing letters, sharing baked goods with family and friends, feeding the birds and squirrels, camping, and traveling. She believed in helping others. She volunteered with Habitat for Humanity and raked leaves for Make a Difference Day. She also helped on a project establishing community gardens in Marshfield, and was a member of the Marshfield Parks and Recreation committee. She is survived by her children: Susan (Robert) Kult, Karen, Daniel Henseler all of Marshfield, Jennifer (Sidney) Brevard of Daphne, AL, and Julie Henseler of New Haven, CT. Kay is further survived by 8 grandchildren, 9 great-grandchildren, her sister Mary Gease of Caledonia, WI, her sister-in-law Marian Henseler, Marshfield, and many nieces and nephews. Kay was preceded in death by her parents, husband Wally, her brother Jack, sister Hallie, sisters-in-law Audrey Kirschner, Mildred Hamel, Lucille Steltonpohl, and Eloise Henseler and brothers-in-law Arlen Gease, Norbert Hamel, Willard Steltonpohl, Richard and Harold Henseler.
