Katherine Ellen Hitchens, 46
REHOBOTH BEACH - Katherine Ellen Hitchens of Rehoboth Beach died Friday, Dec. 8, 2006, in her home. She was 46.
Ms. Hitchens was born in Philadelphia, daughter of the late Preston W. Sr. and Martha (Libis) Hitchens.
She completed her undergraduate work at Salisbury State University and received her master's degree in social work from Delaware State University.
Although Ms. Hitchens never secured fulltime employment in social work, she was a long term employee of Grotto Pizza and Bob Evans in the Rehoboth Beach area.
She was devoted to the Epworth United Methodist Church.
Ms. Hitchens was an avid supporter of the Epilepsy Foundation, as she herself had struggled for many years with the illness.
She is survived by a sister, Ruth Donges and her companion, Greg Jarvis, both of Rehoboth Beach; a brother and a sister-in-law, Preston and Maureen Hitchens of Berlin, N.J.; a niece, Alyson Amour of Berlin; two nephews, Christopher Donges of Rehoboth Beach and Christopher Amour of Orlando, Fla.; her beloved friends, John and Collette Cavanaugh of Chevy Chase, Md., to whom she was devoted; and many loving relatives.
Services will be 11 a.m. Tuesday in Parsell Funeral Homes & Crematorium, Atkins-Lodge Chapel, 16961 Kings Highway, Lewes, where friends may call one hour earlier.
The Rev. Jack Abel will officiate.
Burial will be in Odd Fellows Cemetery, Milton.
Instead of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions to Epworth United Methodist Church, 30 Baltimore Ave., Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971.
