Flower of the Month
November 2007

Kati
Lady Lilac

I was born on July 31, 1947 to the Rev. Dallas & Stella Fitzwater in Meadow Bridge, WV.  My full name is Carolyn Sue. I was an only child.  I attended Meadow Bridge Elementary where my mother was a 4th grade teacher and then Meadow Bridge High School where I graduated in 1965.  (My mother was my 4th grade teacher).  In high school I was very active in the band and was a majorette which I enjoyed immensely.

I married my high school sweetheart but unfortunately the marriage only last 7 years.  I did however have two beautiful children from that marriage.  My son Alan lives here in Ohio and my daughter Christi lives in Austin, TX. My son received his Master’s degree from Virginia Tech and works for Cardinal Health in Dublin.  He is married to Denissa and has two children, Ryan and Katelyn.  Hence the reason for leaving good old sunny Florida.  My daughter has a BA from Florida State and works for a Title company in Austin.

Shortly after the divorce I met Bill.  The love of my life.  He was a mechanical engineer and worked the last 10 years of his life within the airline industry.  When you see the big machine at the airport that transfers containers to the airplanes—that was his baby. We lived many places during our marriage.  WV, VA, Houston, TX, and Atlanta, GA were some of the places we called home. We finally settled in Florida where we had planned to spend the rest of our lives.  Sadly he passed away 2 years ago at the very young age of 56.  We had 32 years together.

My interests include playing tennis.  I started playing in Florida.  I was on many different ladies teams that traveled to the different clubs.  I really enjoyed that and have found some very nice ladies to play with here in Ohio.

I have worked many different places usually in something involved in accounting.  I did go back to school in my 40’s and finished with a BA in Psychology from the University of Central Florida. I have done some volunteer work for a Women’s Center and also a Conservation District in Florida.  Presently I am working part-time for a company in Worthington.

I like mysteries, puzzles, history and traveling.  I have been to England, Italy, Greece and Australia and am looking forward to someday going to Egypt, Germany and going on an African Safari.

The lilac is one of my favorite flowers, hence the name LADY LILAC.
