Kay Nimrod Obituary

Nimrod
KAY (MURPHY) NIMROD
September 7, 1930 March 2, 2021
Kay Murphy Nimrod of Colorado Springs, formerly of Woodland Park, was born in Washington D. C., where she attended high school in the suburb of Georgetown at what is now the Duke Ellington School for the arts. She was always a little ahead of her time, obtaining a pilot's license when she was just 16. She worked at the Pentagon during the Korean War, where she met her husband "Nim", and lived on Long Island for several years before moving to Colorado in 1959.
She is survived by daughter and son-in-law, Jeanne and Steve Brown of Albuquerque, daughter-in-law Janet Nimrod of Bentonville, Arkansas, granddaughter Kelley Lenertz of Centennial, and numerous cousins in Scotland, England, and the Denver area. She was preceded in death by husband Harlan Nimrod and sons Robert Nimrod and John Nimrod.
She worked alongside her husband developing Holiday Hills Ski Area in the Woodland Park area in the 1960's and operating a custom home construction business. She was also on the board that established the original library in Woodland Park, and was later on the condo board for Ocho Caballos in Colorado Springs for many years. She and her husband were married for 64 years before he passed away in 2014.
Kay will be greatly missed by all who knew her. To leave a condolence, please visit www.cappadonafh.com.

A smiling sweet natured person with a great sense of humor. My husband Bob Ewart and I had a ski school at Holiday Hills during that time and became to know and enjoy being with Kay and Nim. This is such a sudden shock.
