Written by the Family
Feb. 25, 2015: Katherine Gillett McClintock, 93, died on February 9, 2015. She lived her childhood in Pelham Manor. After her marriage to Brower McClintock in 1943, they made their home in Bronxville. They retired to her family's longtime summer home in Norfolk, CT, and in 1993, moved to Ashlar Village (Wallingford, CT), where they lived the remainder of their years.
She was educated at Pelham Day School, Miss Hall's School, Pittsfield, MA ('39), and Smith College, Northampton, MA ('43).
Her volunteer activities in Bronxville included The Junior League, The Nondescript Club, the Bronxville School PTA, Boy Scouts of America, and The Reformed Church. In Norfolk, she was a member of, and volunteered for, the Norfolk Library Associates, The Litchfield County University Club, the Norfolk Church of Christ Congregational, the Norfolk-Colebrook Garden Club, the Doolittle Lake Club Board, and the Norfolk Community Association. While living in Wallingford, she was a member of the First Congregational Church, where she served as a deacon.
She and Brower enjoyed traveling, with greatest affinity for small-ship cruises. She also loved gardening, doing needlework, playing tennis and golf, and avidly following the Boston Red Sox. But her family was most important to her. Her smile and great wit will be missed by the entire family, and by many friends, especially those she made while living at Ashlar Village.
She is survived by three children, Brower McClintock, Jr. (Sandy), of Whitehall, PA, Martha McClintock Sippel of Annapolis, MD, and Kendall Gillett McClintock (Ann) of Ludlow, MA; six grandchildren, David McClintock, Leigh Yocum (Bill), Emily Sippel, Jonathan Sippel (Karen), Evan Sippel, and Jessica McClintock; and three great-grandchildren, Anastasia Yocum, Kaleigh Yocum, and Oliver Sippel; as well as many loving nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her husband (Brower), her parents (Ezra Kendall and Isabel Goodnow Gillett), and her siblings (E. Kendall Gillett, Jr., Elizabeth Gillett Day, and Frank Goodnow Gillett).
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions be made in her name to The Norfolk Library, PO Box 605, Norfolk, CT 06058.
A celebration of Katherine's life will be held in the Hartog Auditorium at Ashlar Village, Wallingford, CT, on March 28, 2015, at 1:00 pm. Funeral arrangements are being handled by Kenny Funeral Homes.
