She was born on Valentine's Day, February 14, 1940 to Uyless "Walt" Everrett and Marjorie Lois Sneary Walters in San Diego, California. Kitty married Whitney "Whit" Reldon Jones on February 16, 1956 in Henderson, Nevada. Their marriage was solemnized in the St. George LDS Temple.
She is survived by her husband, Whit; children: Darlene (Kevin) Leany, St. George; Penny (Randy) Willard, Santa Clara; Ronald "Ron" (Jill) Jones, Hurricane; Joni (Scott) Ballard, West Jordan; Jandi (Curtis) Gubler, Kuna, ID; 20 grandchildren; 22 great grandchildren; sister, Elizabeth "Betsy" (Franklin "Bucky") Neal, Henderson, NV; brother, Henry "Wes" (LaGaye) Walters, Las Vegas, NV; numerous family members and close friends. Preceded in death by an infant son, Kenneth; one of her beloved sisters, Laura, the wife of Rick O'Connor of Tucson, AZ and mother of five, (February 14, 1941 - March 4, 2015). Kitty and Laura were very close in age and relationship and returned to Heaven within a couple months of each other.
Kitty was devoted to her husband Whit and family. They enjoyed taking the family camping, and doing various outdoor activities. She retired from the United States Postal Service after 30 years and treasured her associations there. She loved her family, grandchildren, and friends, and had a gift for turning friends into close family. She enjoyed traveling, reading and decorating her home and yard. She lived in various places throughout her life but she loved Santa Clara and always came back home.

Oh my Hannah! I can't believe it's been 16 years. I still think of you every time I go to the post office but did quit driving by your house. You would not like how many cars drive by your house each day. Southern Utah is not a small quaint place anymore:( I also think of you every time I see one of the gifts you gave me. The Native American coasters are on 'still' on my kitchen table but only have one Kokopeli, candle stick, on a chest in my bedroom. Mindee's husband, Greg, was helping me get some things downstairs and noticed the Kokopeli candle sticks (he has a thing for Kokopeli too) so I gave him one. Please know you are remembered by many and as Nada said 'Keep watching over all of us that hold you dear in our hearts'. Love you always. xoxo's
