Kitty had a dynamic spirit; she loved to travel and was a lifelong runner and biker. She had a penchant for drawing and her art often accompanied hand-written letters and cards. She additionally enjoyed putting together photo albums and watching horror movies. However, more than anything else, she loved spending time with her loved ones and is remembered by many for the support she provided through hard times.
