🕊️ In Loving Memory 🕊️
It is with deep sadness that the School District of DeSoto County shares the passing of Kaycee Mays.
For nearly 27 years, Kaycee dedicated her life to serving the students and families of DeSoto County with unwavering compassion, kindness, and excellence. She was an exceptional professional, educator, co-worker, and friend whose impact reached far beyond the classroom.
Kaycee was a fierce champion for her students and our community, pouring her heart into everything she did. Her dedication, genuine care, and commitment to helping others inspired countless lives and strengthened the Bulldog family she loved so dearly.
Above all, Kaycee was a devoted wife, loving mother, cherished sister, and loyal friend who took immense pride in her family and the relationships she built throughout her life. Our thoughts and heartfelt prayers are with her husband, four sons, family, friends, colleagues, and all whose lives were touched by her remarkable spirit. Her legacy of service, love, and unwavering belief in children will continue to live on in our schools and throughout our community.
Forever a part of the Bulldog family. Forever remembered. 💙
