COLINE COVINGTON

COVINGTON-- Dr. Coline Elizabeth. The brilliant, beautiful, glamorous Coline Covington, AKA "Kitty," died on Monday July 17 in London, UK, the city in which she had made her home for the past 45 years. Coline was diagnosed with an inoperable glioblastoma in April of this year and, as she had fervently hoped, died without serious pain and with no loss of her always acute mental faculties. Coline was a graduate of the Chapin School, Princeton University, Cambridge University, and the London School of Economics. She was a highly accomplished psychoanalyst and former chair of the British Psychoanalytic Council, and the author of numerous books and articles on political/social psychology. Widely read, extremely funny, impatient, loving and erudite, she was beloved by a wide circle of friends in America, the UK and internationally. At Coline's request, memorial gatherings both in London and New York will be private. We, her American "family," will miss her swishing skirts, high heeled boots, and her sparkling sense of humor every day. Alexandra, Frederick, Clelia, and Jack Peters
