EASTON, Md. - Nina Katherine Kiddy Casey, RN, died on Jan. 8, 2012. Born Jan. 6, 1931, in Luke, Md., Katherine was the daughter of the late Thomas and Nina Knott Kiddy.
She was a graduate of Bruce High School in Westernport, Md., and the University of Maryland School of Nursing, where she received her RN degree in 1952.
Katherine enjoyed a long career as a registered nurse, beginning at Keyser Hospital in Keyser, W.Va., in 1952. After moving to Baltimore in 1954, she practiced nursing at University Hospital (now known as University of Maryland Medical Center), Central Medical Center Industrial Clinic, The Casualty Insurance Clinic, the Maryland State Health Department, and Greater Baltimore Medical Center.
