Groton - Junerose Mary (Kuchler) Killian, 91, a resident of Houston,
Texas from 1950 and of Niantic since 1969, passed away on Monday, Jan.
30, 2017, in Groton.<br><br>
Mrs. Killian, the daughter of Charles and Alice (Johnson) Kuchler, was
born on June 20, 1925, in Brooklyn, N.Y. Like her father, she was a
graduate of Cornell University as was her husband of 67 years, Jimmie,
who died in 2016.<br><br>
Our mother was almost always in motion and on the move, whether it was
camping or travelling with or visiting her children or visiting other
countries with Jimmie or participating in Cornell University reunions or
activities of The Sons of Norway. She also enjoyed physical exercise like
bicycling, hiking, walking and even cross country skiing in several
different states, including the Sons of Norway "Ski for Light"
for blind skiers, and rode a tandem bike with one of her sons in another
race.<br><br>
Although she was proud of her children, relatives and friends and what
they offer and promise for the future, she also was and is recognized by
the State of Connecticut as winner of the Emily Foster Wells award in
2009 which exemplifies the successes and capabilities of people who are
blind. This award does not just honor past achievement, but gives
inspiration to others of a hopeful future by spotlighting academic
success, community involvement and entrepreneurial spirit. This award
identified her as "Cornell graduate, mother of eight, lecturer,
lifelong advocate and activist in both the local community and nationally
in cultural, sports and disability issues."<br><br>
She is survived by her eight children, Roger (Diana) of Newton, N.C.,
Peter (Glenda) of Sacramento, Calif., Timothy of Hanahan, S.C., Betty
(Mike) Murphy of Port Hueneme, Calif., Fred of New London, Kenneth
(Janette) of Ringgold, Ga., Glenn (Morrie) of Portsmouth N.H., and Laurin
(Leslie) of Groton; she is also survived by 20 grandchildren and 23
great-grandchildren.<br><br>
All of us are very grateful and thankful for the aid and assistance of
staff of Lawrence + Memorial Hospital and Groton Regency and for the
counsel and guidance of VITAS hospice care during this transition in her
life. A celebration of her life will be held at a later date.<br><br>
