Kathryn Hollett, “Chicki” passed away peacefully at home in the presence of family on Friday, April 21, 2023.

True to form, Chicki’s pancreatic cancer diagnosis last year was met with a determination to live her life on her own terms – with fortitude, elegance, a sense of humor and a renewed commitment to get busy designing the set for AVP’s upcoming production of Mary Poppins. Chicki was a Board member of the Annisquam Village Players, where she worked tirelessly each year since 1992 as Set Designer for the AVP theater productions. She was so passionate about the AVP work that even until the day of her death she was planning the AVP production for Gloucester’s upcoming 400th year celebration.

Her visiting hours will be held in the Greely Funeral Home, 212 Washington Street, Gloucester on Thursday, April 27, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. Relatives and friends are cordially invited to attend.
In keeping with her wishes there will be no services and her burial will be held privately.In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Open Door https://www.foodpantry.org/ways-to-give/donate/
