Kathleen (Kitty) Ross , 70, transitioned to her next path on Monday August 14, 2023. Born on October 16, 1952 and raised on a family farm in Gettysburg, PA, Kitty loved nature, especially flowers, plants, and animals, and warm weather. Her best day would include a sweet treat and a good view, and Kitty would quite literally stop to smell the roses and encourage others to do the same. She always said the best thing about moving to New Jersey was the diners, and she didn't mind eating at one for every meal because "everyone can get what they want and leave the mess there." Kitty met all challenges with grace, humor, and humility. There was never a harder worker, though she often said her daughters were her greatest achievement. Kitty lived her life quietly, but the impact she had on everyone around her was loud. To know her was to love her.

She will be dearly missed by her husband of 45 years, Albert; daughters Melissa, Cynthia, and Victoria; sons-in-law Howard and Kevin; and grandson Samuel; as well as siblings Virginia, Riley, Cynthia, Deborah, Phyliss, Sharon, and Matthew. She will undoubtedly be reunited and met with love by her parents Carroll and Virginia Redding and siblings David, Michael, Stephen, Timothy, Sally, Loring, and Peggi.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donating in Kitty's name to the Elephant Crisis Fund.

Family and friends are welcome to join a memorial for Kitty on Saturday August 26, 2023 from 12 to 2pm at the Peppler Funeral Home, 122 Crosswicks St, Bordentown, NJ. Services will begin at  2:00 pm.
