ANTON, Kathleen A. "Kay" (Berger) Loving Mother, "Nanny" & Avid Gardner A 20 year resident of Davidsonville, MD, and previously from Boston, passed away in her home on September 3rd, 2018, surrounded by family. Born on April 24, 1941 in Boston, Kay was an avid gardener and loved spending time on her deck surrounded by her flowers, especially her beloved begonias. She adored her grandchildren aka "Nanny's Angels" and looked forward to any time she could spend with her family. She was sometimes referred to as "Flossy Nightingale" for her role in caring for many family members before their passing. She was a huge Red Sox fan and would watch most games to the end. She was a wonderful listener and counselor to many. She had an infectious belly laugh, that would often leave us in tears! She missed her husband, Frank of 57 years terribly and looked forward to dancing with him again. Her desire was to be driven (not flown) to Boston to be near family and friends. Sleep with the angels Kay, you deserve it!
