BARBARA S. KAYE,
84, passed on Sept. 25,
2017.
She was born in and
grew up in Detroit,
attended Wayne State
University and moved
to Atlanta, Ga., in the
Kaye
early 1960s.
Her many inter-
ests included books,
poetry, music, art,
philosophy, physics and ping pong.
She did volunteer work as a career
counselor with Atlanta Women on the
Way, Volunteer Atlanta and the High
Museum of Art. Mrs. Kaye also served
on the original Dancers Collective
Board.
She was a member of many book
clubs and discussion groups and loved
all these things, but, most of all, she
loved her children.
Mrs. Kaye was vibrant, strong, smart,

playful, creative, rebellious, beautiful
and fearless. The family love for her
was great and they will miss her more
than they can say.
Mrs. Kaye is survived by her son, Rick
(Ray), who managed a Broadway the-
ater for 33 years; her daughter, Debra
(Roger), who is a composer and music
teacher living in New York City; sister,
Joan Saltz ( Jack) of Purchase, N.Y.; and
brother, Bruce Seyburn (Denise) of
West Bloomfield.
She is best described in her own
poetic words: “When someone asks
what I do best, I always say I like
to play. I ask myself what I do best,
answering the same. Well, playing the
game is acting out; it’s lightening up
without the thunder and heavy rain,
with freedom of thought and mind full
of naught. To see the moment: before
and beyond, with a playful fondness
and fun. With matter not and just for-
got. Okay, it’s done.”
A funeral service was conducted
at H.M. Patterson & Son’s Spring
Hill Chapel with burial following at
Arlington Memorial Park in Georgia.
