Famous storyteller, columnist Kathryn Windham dies. (San Jose Mercury News, 6/12/2011)
Excerpt: Hilley said her mother wrote her own four-line obituary that talked only of her family. She listed who preceded in her in death, including her husband, parents and one daughter, Kathryn Tabb (Kitti) Windham. Besides Hilley and Windham Jr., she is survived by her grandsons, David Windham and Benjamin Hilley, and several nieces and nephews. She asked that memorial contributions be made to the Friends of the Selma Public Library.
About her short life summary, Hilley said, "That's all she would want."
"She was just wonderful person who was on this earth to bring joy to others and she did that with great pleasure," Hilley said.
Her celebrity in Alabama was widespread, including with the Kathryn Tucker Windham Museum at Alabama Southern Community College in Thomasville.
