Kitty Eads Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
After graduating from Manhattan High in 1962, she went to work for Kansas State University and then United States Civil Service at Fort Riley Kansas. She retired after 28 years in 1995.
While working at Fort Riley she met Army Captain George Eads, from Indianapolis Indiana, and were married on July 1, 1978.
Kitty was a lifelong fiber artist, sewing, crocheting, various forms of needlework and handweaving. She and George formed EKG Weavers and participated in Arts and Craft shows around the area. She also enjoyed camping, bicycling and photography. True to her nickname she always loved cats, and an unknown number enhanced our lives.
As an animal lover, Kitty supported People for Ethical Treatment of Animals and the Humane Society Of the United States as well as The Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keenesburg, Colorado. She was a lifelong member of First Lutheran Church in Manhattan Kansas. We will miss her greatly.
Kitty was predeceased by her father and her mother.
She is survived by her husband George and her daughter Heidi, Granddaughters Hannah and Josephine, Great Grandson Lysander and brother Darrell Patnode of Georgetown Kentucky.
There are no events planned, as she did not wish to have services.
You may make a donation to Good Shepherd Homecare & Hospice of Manhattan or The Wild Animal Sanctuary in her honor in care of Yorgensen-Meloan-Londeen Funeral Home, 1616 Poyntz Ave, Manhattan, KS 66502
