Her father and sister were both church organists and her mother, a trained vocalist, led the choir at St John’s Episcopal Church for many years. Kitty was an avid gardener and her tomatoes were legendary. She also had a love of dogs and was always surrounded by boxers and Dachshunds. She was a steadfast friend to many and will be missed.
