"Kay always had a very high energy level and was such a wonderfully warm person," said Mary Katherine Scheeler, a Towson lawyer and former Baltimore County School Board member, who was a longtime friend.
"Right up to the end of her life, she was always on the edge of excitement. She enjoyed sharing her life with others and reaching out to people," Mrs. Scheeler said.
At the moment of her friend's death, Mrs. Scheeler said, there was a huge clap of thunder during Monday evening's storm.
"I like to think that Kay went out with a bang," she said.
The longtime former resident of Echo Court, in the Hampton section of Baltimore County, was also a neighborhood correspondent for four years for the Towson Times.
She was a member and past president of the women's committee of Historic Hampton, where she photographed events for The Cupola, its newsletter.
Mrs. Scarborough was a communicant of Holy Cross Episcopal Church, 4603 Rocks Road, Street, where funeral services were held Friday.
She was also an active member of Trinity Episcopal Church in Towson where a memorial service was held Saturday.
Also surviving are her husband of 63 years, Guy Curtis Scarborough, a retired FBI special agent; two daughters, Katherine S. Scarborough and Gail L.S. Dickson, both of Richmond, Va.; and four grandchildren.
