They began their married life in Great Lakes, IL, where Norm was stationed with the US Navy, later returning to Grand Meadow. Kitty’s life centered around her family, her flowers and her faith. Service to others included many years as one of the Preschool Vision and Hearing coordinators for Mower and Fillmore County working closely with the Public Health Nurses and volunteers.
