Kathryn Smith Obituary
Kathryn Smith May 25, 2024
Kathryn C. "Kitty" Smith passed away on Saturday May 25, 2024 after a long illness. Over her 79 years she effectively reared three sons, was a great partner for her husband Tom, and made lasting friends across all boundaries. Throughout her young life in east Texas, Kitty built a thriving and successful family based on love and sound principles. Transitioning to Tennessee with an empty nest, Kitty began her next phase of adventure as a business partner, a competitive duplicate bridge player, and world traveler. She remained active in the retirement years with competitive bridge, travels, family, and philanthropy.
Kitty is survived by her husband, Tom; sons, Kevin, Tim, and Dan; nine grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
Her legacy lives on.

This breaks my heart to hear about Kitty. Jim & I had so many great memories living life with you guys. You were so much more than our "Eastman" family. We have loved you both for many years. My prayers for Tom & the family.
