Kay Jennings, 89, passed away at Fauquier Hospital in Warrenton,

Born in Aiken, South Carolina on February 25, 1921, Kay was the daughter
of Beverly Randolph McCreight and Sarah Katherine Sullivan. She spent
her young life in Newton, North Carolina and moved to Springfield,

over the daily operation of Springfield Toyota, making her the first

automobile dealer, she provided new opportunities for women; both as
customers and employees. In 1995 she retired and spent her later years
between Camden, South Carolina and Warrenton, Virginia.
She is survived by her brother Dr. Charles McCreight, and two sisters,
Sarah Grozbean and Mary Goodman. She is also survived by her five
children, Katherine Dauphin, Beverly Hennager, Louis Jennings, Jr., Mary
