KATHRYN LYTLE Obituary

Lytle, Kathryn Beloved mother and wife, passed away March 5, 2015 at the age of 80. She is remembered by all as a loving, caring person who drew great pleasure from her family, her pets, and her friends in the Fair Oaks community of Fairfax County, Virginia. Kathryn was born February 6, 1935 in Kansas City, Missouri, and graduated in 1953 from Lillis High School in Kansas City. She moved to Virginia in 1966 with her first husband and their two children. She worked as a school bus driver in Fairfax County for more than 20 years. After retirement, she continued to work with children as a teacher's aide and was also a long-time volunteer driver for the Meals on Wheels program. She and her second husband, Roger Sherman, were one of the first residents of the Fair Oaks neighborhood of Fairfax County, living there for 25 years. In the final years of her life Kathryn was stricken by Alzheimer's disease. In 2014, after the death of her husband Roger, she moved to Massachusetts to be closer to her family. Kathryn is survived by her brother, Charles Boije; her daughter Mary Wolfman, her son David Lytle, and her grandson Matthew Wolfman. A memorial service will be held at a later date when Kathryn and Roger are interred together at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia. Memorial contributions can be made to the Fisher Center for Alzheimer's Research, www.alzinfo.org.

Mike and I were so sorry to hear of Kathy's passing. Our former neighbor, Glenda Miesner, told us of the upcoming services at Arlington this Friday. We can't be there and I'm not sure if you'll even get this note at this point in time but we wanted to let you know that we will be thinking of both Kathy and Roger at the time of the service. Although we didn't communicate with them once they left the Fair Oaks neighborhood, we remember them both fondly as they lived just 2 houses away from us. Kathy was actually the 1st to come over and welcome us when we moved back into our home after an Army re-assignment. We had frequent chats over the years and remember Kathy as a great neighbor and friend, never once did we ever hear her complain or say anything negative about anyone or anything in our neighborhood in the 17 yrs we were neighbors. That in itself made her a remarkable neighbor.
Mike and Jaye Anastasio
