Kay H. Spohn

Kay H. Spohn, 59, of Sparta, WI, passed away Saturday, October 20, 2018, at Gundersen Lutheran Medical Center, La Crosse, WI. Kay was born November 1, 1958, to Robert and Phyllis (Olson) Kirchner. She was a 1976 graduate of Cashton High School. Kay went on to get her nursing degree from WWTC in La Crosse. Seven years ago she continued her education through Viterbo where she earned her RN BSN degree. Kay was a nurse at Rolling Hills Nursing Facility in Sparta for nearly 30 years. For the past 12 years she has worked at the VA Medical Center in Tomah, WI, in the hospice unit. Nursing was always Kay’s passion. She had the heart and mind to understand the ever changing aspects of caring for sick people. She was kind, generous and committed to the people she cared for. This was not an 8 hour a day job.
