Kathryn Trojanowski Obituary

Kathryn "Kitty" Pace Trojanowski
04/27/1945 - 02/12/2024
Kathryn "Kitty" Pace Trojanowski died Monday, February 12, 2024, at the age of 78. She was predeceased by her husband of 55 years Robert; her sister, Patricia Hopkins; and brother, Mack Masters, and is survived by her children, Dixie Russo and husband, Louis; Douglas Trojanowski; Virginia "Ginger" Gaglio and husband, Christopher; Alexandra Trojanowski, and Philip Trojanowski and his wife, Teresa. Also remaining are her grandchildren, Anthony Russo and wife, Kara; Madilynn Pogue and husband, Brandon; Andrew and Steven Trojanowski; Colleen and Peter Doonan; John and Mara Trojanowski; along with two great-grandchildren, Louis and Ellis Russo. She also leaves behind siblings, James Pace and wife, Viridiana; and Marian Pace and wife, Sondra Rolater.
A native Houstonian, Kathryn was born in southeast Houston, and remained a lifelong resident of the city. A stay-at-home mother for most of her life, she pursued many volunteer opportunities with organizations such as the Park Place Civic Club, Girl Scouts USA, Boy Scouts of America, and with several Democratic Party groups and networks. After her children were grown, Kitty enjoyed a proud career as a Parks and Recreation Supervisor for the City of Houston, presiding over Charlton Park, where she had not only taken her children to play, but had played at herself as a child.
There will be a Rosary, followed by a Memorial Service in her honor at 12 p.m. Friday, February 16, 2024, at St. Christopher Catholic Church, 8150 Park Place Blvd., Houston, Texas 77017.

We are so sorry for your loss. We have fond memories of playing volleyball with your Mom & Dad and a group of parishioners every Wednesday night in the Corpus Christi gym all those many years ago. Afterward we would rotate meeting in each others home for "afterglow", a combination of great conversation, snacks and beverages. So much fun! Our deepest condolances.

Kitty was my "second cousin, once removed" (meaning she was my mother“s first cousin), and she was also my neighbor on River Drive in Park Place. She led an impressive legacy of community service and was a great organizer, responsible for implementing and completing an untold number of community projects. But more than all of that, I enjoyed her beautiful smile, robust laugh, and clever sense of humor! My life is fuller because of Kitty.
