Katharine Ann Miller, 76, of Tryon, NC, died peacefully at her home on Thursday, July 9, after a long illness. Katie earned a bachelor’s degree in English literature at Manhattanville College, completed pre-med courses at Columbia’s School of General Studies, and later earned a master’s in psychology from NYU. She was dedicated to a life of integrity and compassion. In the financial industry, she rose to the position of Vice President in Personal Asset Management at the Bank of New York, before moving to Tryon in 2001 to care for her mother, following her father’s death. In a creative detour during the 1990s, Katie owned and operated the Wild Bird Center in Westport, CT, an endeavor in keeping with her deep love of nature and all living creatures. Katie’s greatest gifts were her tender heart, her sensitivity to the challenges facing others, and her abiding friendship for many fortunate people. She had a great sense of humor and was a perceptive, but generous, observer of human nature. |
