It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Catherine (Kitty) Terneas our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend. Cherished by all who knew her for her kindness and unwavering support. She touched countless lives throughout her life's journey bringing warmth and joy to every moment, leaving behind a legacy of love and compassion.
Kitty had a great passion and enthusiasm for everything she did. From a young age, her talents could be seen in her drawings and paintings. Kitty had a natural gift of artistic expression. This included creating her own fashion statements to her food presentations.

As a member of the Richmond Chamber of Commerce she designed a pennant flag for Richmond's Good Olde Days.
