Born on December 17, 1958, in Raleigh, North Carolina, Kitty spent most of her life in Dunwoody and Duluth, Georgia, where she built a life centered on family, faith, and caring for others. She was a devoted wife, daughter, sister, aunt, friend and neighbor whose warmth and gentle spirit touched countless lives.

Kitty is survived by her loving husband of 39 years, John F.

Kitty graduated from Peachtree High School in 1977 and North Georgia Technical College in 1979. She dedicated her entire professional life to childcare, a calling that perfectly reflected her nurturing heart. For 30 years, she faithfully served at Dunwoody Baptist Church Child Development Center, where she lovingly cared for generations of children.

She was unwavering in her devotion to her family and steadfast in her lifelong commitment to caring for others. Her legacy lives on in the countless lives she touched and the compassion and love she so freely gave.

She will be deeply missed and forever cherished by all who knew her.
