Sherry "Kay" Fennell was the second child of William A. Powell and Esther Rachel Gallenkamp-Powell. She was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1935. Kay lived most of her life in Eugene, Oregon. Her father, Bill, owned a pharmacy in Eugene and her mother, Esther, worked at the pharmacy.
While growing up Kay liked listening to the radio.Her favorite shows were "Captain Midnight" and "The Shadow." She also liked going to the movies with her brother, Jack Powell, and was a Girl Scout. Kay attended Eugene High School where she met Victor Fennell who she would later marry. After finishing high school, while Vic was attending college at Stanford, Kay traveled to Europe for a bicycle trip with her friends from school. She later attended Lewis and Clark College for two years.
Kay and Vic were married on June 12, 1955, and moved to Portland where Vic attended dental school and later opened a dental practice. Kay and Vic had three children in Portland, Karin, Michael and Bradley. When Vic was drafted during the Vietnam War, the family spent two years in Little Rock, Arkansas, and one year at White Sands Missile Range before returning to Eugene where Vic opened a dental practice. Kay worked for many years as a receptionist and bookkeeper in the dental office. Kay was the ultimate "soccer mom." When she was not working in the dental office, she would take her three kids to practices and events for swimming, football, basketball, and baseball. Kay often attended the symphony and piano concerts at the Hult Center.
When Karin moved to Spain for several years, Kay and Vic traveled to Europe to visit Karin in Spain, as well as visit other countries. Europe called again years later when Kay took up skiing in her forties, becoming a regular on the hookie bus to Hoo Doo and traveling to Europe to ski.
After Vic's untimely death in 1987, Kay worked for many years for the Eugene Downtown Association. In 2000, Kay moved to Portland where Michael and Bradley live.
