Kitty took every challenge head-on and her quick wit was a source of constant laughter. She leaves behind a legacy of love, caring, and comedic kindness that will be carried on by her family and friends. Memories of wine, dancing and general silliness prevailed in Kitty’s life and she lived it to the fullest. She took great joy in spending time with Don, her family and friends and especially her nieces and nephews, who have videos to prove it! A life so beautifully lived deserves to be beautifully remembered.
