Kathryn Mary "Kay" Rhodes (March 22, 1910 – June 19, 1996)[1] was an American bridge player of New York City and later Rohnert Park, California.[2]
Rhodes was born in Washington, DC, on March 22, 1910, to parents with surnames Vandekoolwyk (father) and Friesman. She died in Sonoma, California, on June 19, 1996.[1]
Rhodes teamed with three other women—Paula Bacher (later Ribner), Jane Jaeger, and Sally Young—in the 1947 National Board-a-Match Teams championship, played for the Chicago Trophy (now the Reisinger Board-a-Match Teams or simply the Reisinger). They shared the title with two other teams and it remains the only win, albeit shared, for any all-women team in North America's three major open teams-of-four tournaments—Reisinger, Spingold, and Vanderbilt.[3]
Rhodes and Margaret Wagar won the Whitehead Women's Pairs four years in succession, 1955 to 1958.[4]
