She retired from nursing as the Director of Nurses at HCR ManorCare in Palm Desert in 2012. She then moved with her mother to Fort Collins, Colorado to live with her brother, Kenneth J. Ryan, a long-time residence of this city.

Kitten was a member of the Timberline Church and was as active as she could be under her physical disabilities. For some time, she was disabled from hip and knee problems and finally, was overcome by breast and bone cancer. She has been a life-long Christian, walking in the path of her Lord and Savior. She was looking forward to being back with her Lord again. She was a member of several church groups and she had many close friends.
