She co-founded The Healing Obituary, a seminar on obituary writing for funeral home staffs and other interested groups.

A former Minneapolis elementary teacher, corporate trainer and graphic designer, Kitty is a native Iowan, but when she discovered the Hudson Valley, she found home.

“Kitty’s unique creative style allows her to see a project from different angles, using a wondrous variety of artistic expressions. Her intelligent insight and discerning eye were invaluable to me. She is a great listener and captured precisely what I was looking for.” ~ Tom Mischke, The Mischke Roadshow
