Obituary: Catherine "Kitty" Mulroe - Montclair Local

After emigrating at age 19 to the U.S. with her husband Peter, she was raising six children in Cedar Grove when the call of the old country caused them to pull up stakes and return to the British Isles aboard the HMS Queen Elizabeth. Arriving in England, Kitty, Peter and the six children were welcomed into the home of Kitty’s sister Mamie, brother-in-law Vic and their three children. However, the challenges of the four adults and nine children sharing a house tiny by American standards, along with living through the most severe winter experienced in England and Ireland in 100 years, caused her Peter to rethink the move. After decamping England for a holiday in County Mayo, Kitty, Peter and family were once again crossing the Atlantic – this time on the S.S. United States. While her 6 children remembered it as one great adventure, filling them with stories for a lifetime, Kitty was burdened with starting life anew in Montclair with few resources, limited job prospects and a seventh child on the way.

Let the planting (of some things) begin

You can also purchase soil amendments from Cascade Compost in Sumner and Puyallup or Cedar Grove compost in Maple Valley. Improving your soil before you add grass seed is more practical than using weed killers and fertilizers to fight a losing battle with the native weeds that thrive in your area.Q. Is it time to prune roses? I live in Auburn. I am a new homeowner and there were some rose plants when we moved in. P.P. — AuburnA. Yes, February through March are the best months to prune roses in Western Washington. Start by removing the three “D”s — anything dead, diseased or damaged. Then you can be severe and cut all the rose canes to just under 2 feet tall or be more gentle and shorten every branch by two thirds. The real secret of more rose blooms is to fertilize the plants several times during the growing season. Roses are hungry, thirsty plants and the more attention you give them the more flowers they give back. (The Olympian)
