Kay was born January 29, 1938 in Sigourney, IA to Charles (Pete) Stansbury and Helen Ooley Stansbury. She grew up in South English and graduated from North English High School. She married Aubrey V. Davisson in Belton, Texas on July 2, 1955. They lived in Keota before moving to Cedar Rapids in 1971. She retired in 1993 from B.

In 1986 Kay and Aubrey moved to an acreage near Toddville where Kay enjoyed her flowers and garden. She also liked to fish and hunt mushrooms.
