Batte, Mrs. Kathryn Ann Woodson "Kitty," 98, of Richmond, a driver for the 
Richmond Chapter of the American Red Cross Motor Corps during World War II, a 
former preschool teacher, widow of DuRoc Jones Batte.



Kathryn Ann Woodson Batte, "Kitty," of Richmond, died quietly at age 98 on the 
last morning of the decade, December 31, 2010, with her family at her side. She 
was the widow of DuRoc Jones Batte. She was predeceased by her parents, William 
Felix Woodson and Kathryn Ann Boatwright; by her brothers and sister, Benjamin 
F. Woodson, William P. Woodson, and Elizabeth Woodson Mayes; and by her niece 
Susan Woodson Pechfelder. She is survived by her nieces and nephew, Margaret 
Woodson Nea, Jean Woodson Minix, Benjamin M. Woodson, and great nieces and 
nephews, Courtney Nea Jones, Ann Meade Nea Watkins, Holly Minix Urbanek, 
Kathryn Woodson DuMont, Benjamin F. Woodson, and Jason Woodson Pechfelder. She 
is survived by eleven great-great nieces and nephews. Born February 3, 1912, 
she was raised in Ginter Park and graduated from John Marshall High School in 
1931. A graduate of Longwood College, she was a teacher at Bell Bryan Day 
Nursery School and later taught preschool in Alexandria, Virginia. During World 
War II, she served as a driver for the Richmond Chapter of the American Red 
Cross Motor Corps, a war time transportation service. She was a member of the 
Colonial Dames, Daughters of the American Revolution, United Daughters of the 
Confederacy, and the Jamestown Society. She and her husband lived in Alexandria 
for many years, retiring to Imperial Plaza in Richmond in 1986. At the end of 
her gracious life, she will always be remembered for her generosity, 
indomitable spirit, genteel hospitality, and love of life. Her faithful 
caregiver, Mable Ross, said succinctly of Kitty, "She is the kindest person I 
have ever known." Family will receive friends at Woody Funeral Home on Parham 
Road on Monday, January 3, from 5:00 to 7:00. Her service will be held at her 
church, St. Albans, on Hermitage Road on Tuesday, January 4, at 11:00. Burial 
will be at Elmwood Cemetery in Norfolk.
