Kitty was born July 2, 1947 in Biloxi, MS. In her youth she had a passion for showing horses and traveled the world.
She had a successful career in the Hospitality Industry and was a smart businesswoman. Most of all she’ll be remembered for being an avid gardener who created a beautiful home where family, friends and pets were always welcome.
She was an awesome listener and an intelligent political debator. Her dog Snickers was never far from her side. Kitty’s heartfelt laughter and beautiful smile will be greatly missed by all those who love and adore her.
