In 2006, she and Chuck moved to Prescott Valley, Ariz.

She married Airman First Class Charles "Chuck" Lynch of the United States Air Force and emigrated with him to the United States of America in 1961, and naturalized to this country in 1967.
Their life together began in Santa Ana, Calif. In 1971, the family settled in Pittsfield, Mass. Kitty was primarily a stay-at-home mom while her children were young. In 1976, she began her professional life of 30 years working for the Beloit Corporation.
In 1984, Kristin moved to Lanesboro and a few years later opened and operated The Whippletree B&B with husband Chuck. After the B&B, she and Chuck moved to Amherst, N.H., where they lived for 10 years.
