Kathryn Longest Daniels

Kathryn Paige Longest Daniels, 72, of Chester and Louisa, departed this earth Sunday, June 7, 2015. She was born August 23, 1942 to James Louis Longest and Ruth Guinn Longest. She is preceded in death by her parents and one son-in-law, Kim Allen Smith. Kay spent her career in various aspects of the real estate business and was a well-respected paralegal. During her life, Kay’s main passion was gardening, which could be attributed to her father Louis and grandmother, Paige. She was also an avid photographer who loved the beach and water fowl. Her final years were spent tending her beloved flower beds and rose gardens. When Alzheimers began to take her ability to live independently, she moved to Louisa County to live with her daughter, Kathryn. She spent many of her last days outside in her lawn chair with her favorite dog, Winston, by her side. Kay is survived by her son, Jim Daniels and his wife, Robin; her daughter, Kathryn Anderson and her husband, David Anderson; grandchildren, Hunter and Rachael Daniels, Maegan S. Miller and her husband, Pat, Reid and Riley Smith; one great-granddaughter, Charlee-Ann Miller; and her former husband, G.R. Daniels. The family will receive friends from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 14, 2015 at the Chester Chapel of J.T. Morriss & Son Funeral Home, 3050 W. Hundred Rd, Chester, VA 23831.
