Kitty loved her small dogs, shopping and baking.  She baked for the Perry Police and Fire Departments, family, friends and neighbors.  She loved to talk with anyone, especially children of all ages.  Kitty loved all shades of purple, violet and lilac, and was known as “The Purple Lady” because she always wore purple.  Every room in her house was some shade of purple, including the walls and carpet…she just loved purple.

Kitty is survived by her son, Richard A. Dilgren Jr. of Granada Hills, California; step-son, Virgil (Tad) K. Kyle III; sisters, Patricia Toth of Mentor on the Lake and Rose Toth of Painesville; Eight grandchildren and many great-grandchildren.
