Kitty was born in Brooklyn, NY and grew up with her mother, Alice Burke, and younger sister, Patricia, in North Bergen.  She attended Holy Family School in Union City, where she excelled both academically and athletically. She was a popular cheerleader who always spoke of her school years fondly.  After graduation Kitty was employed by Shell Oil Company in NYC.  As a young single woman, Kitty delighted in being part of the excitement and vibrancy of the Big Apple.
Kitty married Robert ("Bobby") Culhane of Hoboken and they soon moved to West New York into the home where Kitty still resided at the time of her death.  They were blessed with 9 children:  Colleen, Patrick, Thomas ("Tommy"), Michael, James, Tara, Kerry, Sheila and Erin.  They later opened their hearts & home, welcoming Angelo Rosa into their lives.
Besides caring for her large family, Kitty worked for the WNY Board of Education for over 35 years.  She was a secretary in Memorial High School, a job she truly loved.  She was also involved in local politics, serving as a Democratic Committee Person for several terms.  Kitty was an active parishioner at St. Joseph of the Palisades Church in WNY, and sent all her children to Catholic schools.
Kitty was predeceased by her husband Bobby in 2008 and her son Tommy in 2016.  In addition to her other children she is survived by a nephew, Daniel McEldowney, as well as 20 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren.
Kitty was a smart, generous, stylish lady who had a smile for everyone.  She was the very heart of her family and will be remembered with love by all who knew her.
