At 83 years old, Kay Grundhaus stays busier than many people half her age. A longtime hair stylist, realtor, world traveler, and community volunteer, she is also the proud mother of four children, grandmother of ten, and great-grandmother of fourteen.
Following a period of reduced activity during the COVID years, Kay joined a local walking group to get active again. A chance invitation to a free pickleball lesson changed everything. One lesson was all it took for her to fall in love with the sport, opening the door to new friendships, competitions, and travel opportunities. Now entering her third year of pickleball, she returns to the Huntsman World Senior Games with a new partner and plans to compete in four events.
Beyond pickleball, Kay enjoys kayaking, hiking, e-bike riding, and 5K races. A 37-year member of Kiwanis, she hopes to inspire other women in their 80s to stay active, adventurous, and engaged.
