Ronnie and Ann, We just learned the sad news of Kit's passing today. So many wonderful memories came back to myself, Frank and Gary. Kit was truly a special person! She had a beautiful smile and such a loving way. Our thoughts and prayers to all the extended family. Frank and Ellie Fiorita
My condolences to the Musnicki family.
I have fond memories of going to Martha’s and Four Seasons. My Father was good friends of Pete and Kit. We would go there often to have a soda and say hello. We bought my first baseball glove there and my first set of skis.
I am sorry for your loss. Joe Ginty Danbury CT

So very sorry to hear of Kit’s passing. She would be a frequent visitor to my Grandparent’s house on Smith Street. I remember sitting around the kitchen table and listening to her endearing Aussie accent. She had a vivacious, happy personality and she was a wonderful, caring friend to my Grandmother Marie Fiorita. I’m sure My Grandparents Joe and Marie and my Dad Joe Jr. are chatting up a storm and catching up on things now that they are all together again in heaven. RIP ❤️
Kit Kat I met you almost two years ago in Memory Care at Grand Villa, and I enjoyed every minute I spent with you as one your RCA’s. You always had a smile and a joke for me. You told me when you were younger your brother said to your mom you don’t have feet, you have yards, because he thought your feet were too long. But that’s not true you are the most beautiful person inside and out, that I have had the pleasure to meet. You always had a smile and wink when I would come into work and you always knew if I was upset about something and asked if you could help in anyway. You were always concerned about everyone. You are a wonderful person and will be dearly loved and missed forever. The other residents have been asking about you, they haven’t seen you in awhile, I say you are resting. I love you Kit Kat, thank you for all your kind words and for everything you taught me.
I knew Catherine for many years as a care giver and Activities Coordinator. Katherine, better know to us as Kit Kat. She was the sunshine that brightened everyone’s day. Always welcomed me when I would arrive at work. She would clap for me. Everyday was a new day for her. She never complained even when her knees gave her problems. She was my biggest Cheerleader. I miss her so very much. She had the kindest soul and loved her family very much. She had many stories about growing up in Australia. I Loved when I would say, Smile for me Kit Kat and she would wink at me and give me one of her funny faces. She always thought about others. She would alert me whenever someone may have looked in trouble. Her concern for everyone around her was just part of her personality. I personally am a Better person to have know Kit Kat. She taught me a lot about Compassion. I miss you everyday but I will carry you in my heart always…Love You Always Kit Kat.. Rest In Peace with the Angels…I know You will Always Watch Over Us❤️
My condolences to Kit Kat, I met her through my mom (Vanessa) when Grand Villa had a Family day. She was so sweet. After that I would ask about her and Mom would always come home talking about her.
May she Rest In Peace.

Ronnie and Ann, this is Liz Coughlin from Oak Ridge Gate. We all have great memories of your mom and your father. My mom just passed this February and Dad is still at oak Ridge Gate. Your mother was so beautiful and had such a wonderful laugh. Buzzy and my father are the only two left from the neighborhood. They’ve had a good long life. My condolences and best wishes to you .
Dear Family Groves Musnicki,
With a heavy heart I would like to give you my condolences. I had the honor to know Mrs. Catherine “Kit” Musnicki for Two years. She was one of my residents in Grand Villa of Clearwater. As her Life Enrichment Coordinator Assistant I spent a lot of time with her. I truly honestly adored her. She is very missed. Memory Care isn’t the same. She had a beautiful smile followed with a cute laugh. Along with her signature joke: “If a bean is a bean what is a pea?” “A relief”. I can never forget when the clock marked eight o’clock and I started to pack my bag, she would be the first to say: “Are you leaving?, Do you live far? Ok, Honey have a good night, see you tomorrow. I pray for you girls every night and everyone in here. I do.” Miss her hugs. Listening to her speak about her mother and how she would cook and receive the American solider boys back in Australia. She spoke proudly of her family. I got to meet many of them through text messages, visits and FaceTime! On weekends that box of Dunkin’ Donuts never failed! Her bang of Kit Kat’s!
Dear Kit Kat, May God bless you, May you Rest In Peace. Thank You for everything you taught me! Celebrate your birthday in heaven! 🤍

Very sorry to read of your mother's passing, Ronnie. I always sensed that she "liked" me during those "high school years" and often bumped into her at the Trellis restaurant in Danbury where we would chat during lunch in later years.. Lost my own mother at 104 in December, so I know It's difficult. My condolences are extended to you and your family;
George and I have such fond memories of a time gone by. We were so lucky your family are part of those wonderful memories. Kit was a beautiful woman. She truly had it all. We used to laugh till we held our sides. I wish George and I could have made it to the west side of Florida to see Kit but many circumstances made that impossible. So we will remember Kit in our hearts forever.
