Katherine "Kitty" Claire Gallagher, aged 92, of Liberty, South Carolina passed away on February 18, 2020 in her home attended by her granddaughter and caregiver Spirit Long. She was visited by many members of her family during her final days. Daughter of Thomas and Ola Marlowe, Kitty was born on March 22, 1927 in Jacksonville, Florida and was one of twelve siblings. Kitty married Daniel Gallagher in the summer of 1971 and they were married for 46 years until his passing. She is survived by her five children (James T. Long, John Stephen Long, Franklin "Paul" Long, Roger Dorian Long, and Karen Long) and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Kitty was a nondenominational Christian, and lived a life defined by faith, love and kindness. She was a passionate family historian, a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and an active volunteer in her community. She loved animals and gardening and could always be counted on for a good storytelling session. She is missed deeply by all of her family.
A celebration of Kitty's life will be held at a future date. In lieu of flowers her family asks that donations be made to Liberty Humane Society pchumanesociety.org.
