Kitty was born on October 30, 1928 in Jacksonville, Florida. She graduated from Andrew Jackson High School and in 1947 married James Howell. They had 2 children, Steve and Sherry whom she was devoted to. She was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church where she served in many areas. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, caregiver, and friend. She loved getting together with friends and especially loved family gatherings.
Kitty is survived by her son, Stephen Howell and his wife Joan of Orlando, FL; brother, Otto Stoy, of Atlanta; grandchildren, Adam Henley of Lake City, Kristin Iddiols of Orlando, and Kelly Trent of Land O Lakes, Florida; and 12 great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Karl and Gertrude Stoy; husband, James Howell; daughter and son-in-law, Sherry and Earl Henley; grandson, Scott Henley; brothers, Karl Stoy, Jr. and Malcolm Poindexter.
Kitty’s wit, generosity, and willingness to help others at a moments notice will be greatly missed. She was our example of how to live life as a giving, selfless, joy-filled Christian woman. May she rest in peace (as she wanted near the end) with Jimmy and Jesus.
A visitation for Katherine will be held Saturday, August 14, 2021 from 1:15 PM to 2:00 PM at Hardage-Giddens, Riverside Memorial Park & Funeral Home, 7242 Normandy Blvd, Jacksonville, FL 32205, followed by a funeral service from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM.
