We have lost a champion and a delightful, irrepressible friend with the passing of Jane “Kitchie” Tolleson (Foundation Council 2012-2020) on July 22, 2020.

Fueled by an inexhaustible supply of energy, Kitchie was a veritable perpetual motion machine. Her imagination and interests knew no bounds and touched countless lives. Kitchie’s enthusiasm for all things good and virtuous was contagious. At times she seemed like a combination of a whirling dervish and a windup doll out of control.
But the characteristic I most associate with her and will most remember her by was fun. Fun. Fun. Fun. She was always fun to be with and away had a way of making everybody she associated with feel good about everything.
No one was more enthusiastic about the life-changing potential of focused ultrasound.
Kitchie will be dearly missed. We offer our condolences to her loved ones.
