Kay Lee Dreamtrader

Kay Lee Dreamtrader passed away peacefully in her sleep on July 1, 2026, at the age of 65. Born in Green Bay, Wisconsin, she moved to New Mexico and was married for 8 ½ years. After her divorce, she had the opportunity to change her name to anything she wanted, so she ran with it. “Dreamtrader” was a character in stories that played in her head, and that’s who she became.

Kay loved being loved and loving others. She also loved reading, especially fantasy and science fiction. But her big love was animals (especially dogs), as shown by having worked as a vet tech for many years. And her beloved chihuahua, Chloe, loved on her just as much as she was loved, always snuggling up to Kay to keep her company and bringing her such joy and comfort.

Kay loved the Greek salad at the Blue Window, eating with her church friends at Viola’s, and everything Los Alamos. When she was hospitalized, hot fudge sundaes were her weakness (especially when they were snuck in by friends). Kay worked joyfully at Los Alamos Care Clinic for many years. She was a very active member of Trinity on the Hill Episcopal Church and served faithfully and decisively on the Vestry. Wicked smart, with amazing memory and knowledge, especially for all things medical, friends would say she was half girlie-girl and half black goth.

Her last wish, which was never fulfilled, was to take a train from Lamy to Winslow, where she could stay at La Posada, one of the original Harvey hotels.

Kay’s funeral will be held at Trinity on the Hill Episcopal Church, 3900 Trinity, in Los Alamos, on July 11 at 1 pm.
