Kitty graduated ASU in 1970 with degrees in accounting and computer science.

Kitty entered the business world with the international accounting firm of Arthur Anderson. Later, she moved to ASM America in Tempe where she became Director of Finance and CFO.  In 1985, she resigned from ASM to manage her business affairs full time. 

In later years, Kitty generously supported several non-profit organizations, including the ASU Foundation where she was a member of the President's Club and ASU Women in Philanthropy and the Gammage Center.

She was a strong supporter of Desert Botanical Gardens in Tempe, Western Folklife Center, Stradling Equine Foundation, Native Seeds, AZ Community Foundations, Museum of Northern Arizona, and other charities that support the environment.  

She is survived by her brother and her sister-in-law, a nephew  and a niece. 

Kitty was preceded in death by her oldest brother, a niece, and her mother and father.

A celebration of Kitty's life will take place this fall at Desert Botanical Gardens.  

In lieu of flowers, we request you send donations to any of Kitty's favorite charities.
