Catherine Marie “Kitty” (Jackson) Walter
Catherine Marie “Kitty” (Jackson) Walter, age 89, of Middletown, DE, and formerly of Aston, PA, passed away peacefully into the arms of her Lord on Saturday, November 7, 2026, surrounded by her family who loved and cared for her. She was the wife of the late Carl Edward Walter, Sr.
Born in Chester, PA she was the daughter of the late John and Esther Jackson. Her siblings were three brothers; Albert Pedrick Biddle, Johnny Thomas Biddle, and James L. “Jazz” Jackson. Catherine was a graduate of Nether Providence High School in Wallingford, PA and was employed for many years as an executive secretary, lastly with Sun Transport, Inc. of Aston, PA.
She was a devoted mother and loving grandmother to her greatest joys and favorite people, her 5 grandchildren. Catherine will be remembered as a caring, lively person who could light up a room simply by being in it. With her unmistakable Italian spirit, she had a special way of making people laugh and leaving a lasting impression on everyone she met. She loved listening to the Three Tenors, buying gifts for the neighborhood children, and knitting: even owning her own yarn shop during her younger years. She also enjoyed traveling and gardening and celebrating holidays with her family, always going above and beyond to make them so very special.
Catherine is survived by her children, Carl Edward Walter, Jr. and wife, Joann, and Letitia Virginia Britton and her husband, Everett “Kirby” Britton, Jr., all of Middletown; and her loving grandchildren, Christian Wayne Britton and wife, Taylor, Ava Britton and fiancé Austin, Elise Britton, and Samantha and Jessica Walter. She will be deeply missed by her family and remembered with great affection for her kind heart, ability to make them laugh, and enthusiasm and love for all things family.
An intimate graveside service will be held in Lawn Croft Cemetery, 1000 West Ridge Road, Linwood, PA, at 11:00am on November 11th with immediate family and friends.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that others honor her memory by donating to the Alzheimer’s Association, 225 North Michigan Avenue, Floor 17, Chicago, IL 60601 or online by clicking here.
