Kathleen A. Pollum

Kathleen A. Pollum (nee Maxwell)

Died: Monday, June 3, 2024, at the age of 90.

She was the youngest child born July 1, 1933, in Bay City, MI to Mable (Telfer) and John Maxwell. She married James Pollum on July 3, 1952, at the Presidio of Monterey, CA. They celebrated 71 years of marriage. 

Kay worked for many years as a dental assistant for Francis P. Blake, DDS. Kay and her husband lived on Perdido Bay near Pensacola until the coastal area was devastated in September 2004 by Hurricane Ivan and then again by Katrina in August 2005. Thinking their luck may be running out, in 2006 they moved to Birmingham, AL where they purchased a home in Courtside, a swim/tennis complex. They lived there until 2009 when a family health crisis prompted a move to Wildwood, MO, a western suburb of St. Louis. 

Kay spent summers sailing with her husband and friends. She and her husband loved sailing in the Caribbean and Georgian Bay, Canada.

Kay was preceded in death by her loving husband, Jim. She is survived by son, Douglas (Sandy) Pollum, two adult daughters, Kelli Pollum, and Sarah (Joe) Define; three grandchildren, Bryan (Shannon), Andrew, and Katie (Tyler); and three great grandchildren, Jayden, Reagan, and Leo.
