Kay Barnett

Kay first came to St. Francis Springs Prayer Center with a neighbor who visited often with their church. When she first came to the Center, the driveway was gravel, there were no cottages, no hermitages, no columbarium, no prayer labyrinth, no Mary’s garden. All that existed on the property was the main lodge and the outdoor chapel. She was quickly captivated by the loveliness and became a volunteer. Now she serves St. Francis Springs as one of the wonderful chefs in our kitchen. 

Kay grew up in Wilkesboro, NC and spent 20 years nursing.

In her own words, Kay loves St. Francis Springs “for the peacefulness, the beauty and simplicity. Most of all for the wonderful people I’ve gotten to know over the years.”
