A Cass County woman has died from apparent exposure to the cold. The Sheriff’s Office report 67-year old Judy Lynn Kay, of rural Atlantic, was found by her brother at around 7:12-p.m. Sunday, unconscious, and about 200-yards from her home near 644th Street and Jackson Road.

Sheriff’s officials say her truck had slid into a ditch in front of the house, and it appears that Kay, who was dressed in sandals and a sweater or light jacket, was apparently trying to make her way back to her home when she collapsed.

Judy Kay had served as a school psychologist for the Atlantic Community School District for many years, before retiring.
