    I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Kathryn. She was a treasured friend of The Singlettes, a single woman’s group associated with The Wednesday Club. Everyone who knew Kathryn loved her. She was kind and generous and always pleasant. She never had an unkind word about anyone. She will be sorely missed.
