• Notes

  On December 9, 2017, Nettie Sherr Kitzes, 97, of Rockville, MD, passed away peacefully surrounded by loving family. Adored wife of the late Dr. George Kitzes, and devoted sister to the late Jessie Wallerich and the late William Sherr, Nettie is survived by her loving daughters, Julie Kitzes Herr and husband, Donald, Janet Kitzes Priset Sandino, and Marjorie Kitzes, and cherished grandchildren, Peter Alexandre Kitzes and wife, Julie, Jared Shane Priset, and Rachel Isabella Herr. A graduate of Hunter College High School and Hunter College in New York, with MAs from the University of Wisconsin, Nettie aspired to be a French teacher from an early age. In 1959 she received a Fulbright scholarship to study at the Sorbonne in Paris, and in 2009 she was inducted into the Hunter College Alumni Association Hall of Fame. As an exceptional high school French teacher for decades, she inspired a legion of her students at Fairview High School in Dayton, OH and Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School in Bethesda, MD with her love of the French language and literature. Memorial contributions may be made to the Hunter College Scholarship & Welfare Fund or JSSA Hospice. Funeral Services will be held at B'Nai Israel Congregation, 6301 Montrose Rd., Rockville, MD on December 11, 2017 at 11 a.m. Interment will take place at Sharon Gardens, Kensico Cemetery, Valhalla, NY.
