Born April 4, 1955 in Fremont, Nebraska, to Bion and Helen Schnaser of Rapid City, South Dakota. Kaye worked as a secretary at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, RC Regional Hospital, and many financial institutions in the area. Reading was a passion as she served on the board of the Sturgis Library and started her own neighborhood "Free Little Library".

Her adventures included traveling to Italy with a special group of parish members; Ireland with her husband, mom, dad, and sister Marcia; Germany to visit her sister Karen; Korea where her daughter and family were stationed; and traveling the United States. She was surrounded by love everywhere she went; especially from her husband who cared for her and adored her up until her last breath. Survivors include her husband, Marion (Tony) Back; son Warren (Lynn) Back; daughters A'Lisa Moore, Corinne (Ryan) Hoppe, and Toniette (Rick) Heidorn; eleven grandchildren Cassandra, Mary, Maddison, Tyler, Teah, Jordan, Jessica, Kimberly, Ashley, Jacob, and Elizabeth; mom Helen Schnaser; sisters Marcia Williamson and Karen Twohy; sister-in-law Verna Grauel; nieces Angela (Mitch) Linster, Amy (Shawn) Astrom, and Elise Twohy; nephew Justin Twohy, and two great nephews Brandon and Bion; and aunts, uncles and cousins.
