Kay and her son Roy lived in Illinois until sometime after Roy joined the U.S. Navy in 1943.  When Roy was discharged in 1946 he went to live with his father in California for a short time.  It's not clear where Kay was during this period, but by the 50's she is seen in publicity photos with her son, now called Rock Hudson.
