To the family Kitty Canant. My deepest condolences and sympathy. I am so very sorry for your loss!

"Kitty" as she was known to everyone at Pac Bell was a wonderful person. Always up beat, quick witted, and she loved a good joke. The life of the party and fun to be around. Kitty had a way of making a misserable day seem not so bad after all. I cleared my trouble tickets with her for years and to hear her voice just brightened up my day.

Kitty was always "Kitty", and when she retired it was like I lost a big sister. Pac Bell was never the same after that.

I'm deeply troubled to hear about Kitty's passing. Heaven has a new big sister. Sincerely, Craig Cox

Dear Karen and Family,
I was so sorry to hear that Kitty passed away. I first met her around 1973 when she first came to work at AT&T on Coffee Road. She was always so upbeat..not to mention always "telling it like it is".
I went on several outings to Angel Island with her and her friend Paul and it was always so much fun; I was much younger than them, but could barely keep up! I have so many fond memories of her. My sincere conolences to you and your family; I know she will be sorely missed.
