WHITE STONE—Kathleen Hoynowski “Kathy” Meyer, 82, of White Stone passed away peacefully at home on September 3, 2025. She was born on July 25, 1943, in Paterson, N.J., and was the daughter of the late Charles (Boley) Hino and Catherine Hino.
Kathy grew up in northern New Jersey and received her bachelor’s in elementary education and master’s in reading specialization from William Paterson College (now William Paterson University) in Wayne, N.J. She held a variety of teaching related positions, as an elementary education teacher, high school bedside tutor and adjunct professor/instructor in Writing Effective Prose/English Composition for William Paterson University.
After initially spending many memorable summer family vacations at the Tides Inn, she shared residency between northern New Jersey and the Northern Neck through the mid-1990s, until she retired and became a full-time resident of White Stone with her beloved husband Frederick “Rick” in the summer of 1999.
Kathy remained very active, social, and “with-it” (and was indeed proud of that), had diverse interests and truly loved life on Carter Creek and the lower Northern Neck community. She was an active parishioner of St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church and a member of Indian Creek Yacht and Country Club.
Kathy was an enthusiastic longtime volunteer with Historic Christ Church, Dee’s Attic Bookstore at the Lancaster Community Library and Steamboat Era Museum, where she enjoyed working with educational programs and children/school groups. She also cherished her friends in various social groups, which included mahjong, Red Hat Ladies (Northern Neck Rubies) and Bunko. Kathy also loved reading, dining out, cooking, great food, history, culture and exploring new adventures as a part of “small town living.”
Surviving are her twin sons, Scott Meyer of Lorton and Steven Meyer of Rutland, Vt.; daughter, Tracy Augsburger of Orange City, Fla.; daughter-in-law, Karen (Scott’s wife); brother-in-law, Geoffrey Meyer of Amelia Island, Fla.; and four nieces.
A visitation and wake will be held from 5-7 p.m. Thursday, September 11, at Currie Funeral Home in Kilmarnock. A Mass of Resurrection will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, September 12, at St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church in Kilmarnock, with Father Michael Orlowsky officiating. A graveside service and interment will follow at Historic Christ Church Burying Ground in Weems.
