Kitty was a stay-at-home mom until 1978 when she began working in the bindery department at the Shopper-Advertiser in Delavan. She retired from the Shopper in 2010. Kitty is remembered for her quick wit and bright sense of humor. She would laugh, make jokes, and share her beautiful smile with her family members, co-workers, friends, and neighbors through the years. Kitty loved bringing candy treats into work. At home, she always had her own candy jar, filled with M&Ms. Kitty enjoyed reading, playing games, and watching her programs and favorite movies on TV. Some of her favorite shows were the Three Stooges, Andy Griffith, and Disney Movies. Kitty and Don had numerous dogs through their years together. They enjoyed car rides together over the years, with a dog in the backseat of their car on those country backroads.

There will be a private family celebration of life in 2025, with inurnment at Mt. Philip Cemetery in Allen Grove.

The family wishes to thank Lazarczyk Funeral Home for their support. Thank you to Kindred Hearts Assisted Living in Elkhorn for Kitty’s care over the last four years where Kitty continued sharing her M&Ms with the people around her.
