Kitty Hill Graeber

The world lost a beloved mother and a beautiful soul on August 13, 2022. Kitty Hill Graeber was surrounded by family as she transitioned to live with our lord and savior Jesus Christ. Kitsy, as everyone called her, was born the only child to Leslie W. Hill and Mary Elizabeth Henry on January 6, 1950, in Waco, Texas. After moving to Austin, she attended Lamar Jr High School and graduated from McCallum High school in 1968. She studied at Texas State University.

While filling in on a friend’s blind date she met her first husband and the father of her two children, Robert Scott Arnold. They married in 1970. In 1980, Kitsy married her second husband, Stephen P. Ellison. They met while they both worked at the Texas Department of Health. Steve and Kitsy moved to Georgetown, Texas and started a business, Ellison Environmental Engineering until his death in 2000. In 2003, she married Mike Graeber whom she met at the Texas Department of Health/TCEQ.

Family brought joy into Kitsy’s life. She was a devoted mother often volunteering at Georgetown High School football games concessions as well as the Georgetown HS Band Boosters acting as a chaperone at out of state contests. She attended every high school and university choir concert in which her grandson Clayton Arnold performed. She also insisted that she attend every bowling tournament and playoff in which he participated. Her love and pride of family was her strength. Her generosity and love extended graciously to everyone around her. Even during struggling times, her kindness was unwavering.

Kitsy was a shopper and enjoyed family outings where she purchased Knick Knacks that represented her love of animals, spirituality, and faith.

She is survived by her husband, Michael Graeber of Georgetown, TX, son Bryce Arnold and partner Alaa Hedeeb of Atlanta, GA, daughter Denise Galik and husband Brad of Georgetown, TX and grandson, Clayton Arnold of Georgetown, TX.
