Jenny, Davie,Dustin I’m very sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. She was a great lady❤️
So sorry to hear. Your mom was always a ball of sunshine 🙂
Kitty was a lovely lady. I witnessed the love she and David shared. May loving memories help all of her family during this time of grief. She is reunited with David and together they will keep a watchful eye over their family and friends.
Although I was only a Finn for a short period of time, you have all treated me like family whenever I visit. I will miss Kitty. I remember the early years of her dating Dave. They were the perfect couple. Now they are together again. Love to all my extended Finn family.
We Love You…….. Dale and Jeanne Haagenstad
When I think about Kitty, There are so many memories I have that bring me to my young adult years. I can hear her raspy cackle laughter that was infectious. I can see her big , slightly crooked smile. I can still feel the love she had- for everyone, especially her family. The bond I saw between her sisters (Coleen and Kelly) was amazing, the love she had for her kids and grandkids – it was fierce and the love she had for Dave was a beautiful picture of love and commitment. I will cherish memories of bbq’s, St.Patty’s days, and my wedding with little Gracie and Kitty making sure she was the best flower girl ever! My life was touched with joy knowing Kitty ! Sending all my love and prayers.
Jenny, Davey, Dustin, I am sending our deepest sympathies in the loss of your mom Kitty. Late last summer we bumped into each other in beautiful Scandia. Reminiscing about so may years. We had planned to get together again but covid changed that. She was always smiling and happy even though your dad was gone, but looked forward and always shared the joy of each of you and your families. Blessings to all of you.
Please accept my most heartfelt sympathies for your loss… My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.
With heartfelt condolences,
Kitty – I will miss your fun laugh and funny stories! I am so happy I had a chance to really get to know you and to have an opportunity to spend time with you at our fun family get-togethers. I know you are in God’s hands now and there is no better place than that! I have been using that beautiful beach bag you sewed for me each time I visit the YMCA. May God Truly Bless You Until We Meet Again!! Love from Grandma Sherry
My sincere sympathy in the passing of your mother. They say the eyes are the “window to your soul “ and kitty had beautiful eyes and she brought a lot of happiness to all of us. Nancy Hessler Duerscherl, grade school class mate.
I am heartsick to hear of Kitty’s passing. Whenever I saw her over the years she was always spunky and full of humor despite the hardships she went through. I think of you all at this difficult time and know how much she will be missed. She was and always will be a very special lady. Love, Cousin Suzi
#finnsforever – No one holds down or diminishes a “Finn”. They are a rare breed. They are full of life, fun, tenacity, determination, and strength. Kitty will be sincerely missed, but she is with each of you everyday. When you miss her, close your eyes and listen for her voice, her laugh, and feel her presence in your lives! She will be there! What a great service yesterday and what great tributes to her life and love, Adam, Colleen, and Kelly! Big hug … Diane Richter Dumer, a Finn want to be! Love you guys!
