Katharine"Kit" Hinckley Obituary
Kit was almost always found in her kitchen. She enjoyed cooking, hosting, and all around merry making. She loved a good glass of white Zinfandel, card games, and finding errors in her husbands attempts to balance their check book. She was detail oriented, sharp tongued, and had impeccable taste. She thrived as a wife and a mother to two very independent daughters.
Kit was fond of reading, the coast of Maine, Marvel Movies, and thrift shopping. She was a master baker and always showed up to a function with at least two pies and dozen cupcakes. Her husband could not be trusted around her chocolate chip cookies.
Kit is survived by her daughters, Wendy Hinckley, and Carrie (Paul) Jakubowski; and her granddaughters, Mia and Phoebe. They will miss her every day, along with Rod.
