Katharine Isabelle Migel “Kim” Aycrigg, 98, passed away on September 3rd, at Mary’s Woods Retirement Community, Lake Oswego, Oregon where she resided for the past ten years.
She was born December 19,1921 in Pelham, NY, daughter of the late Julius and Margaret Migel, the youngest of five siblings. She was preceded in death by husband, Richard and son Jeffrey.

Kim attended Emma Willard and graduated from Smith College (‘43). She was a generous and caring wife, mother, friend, life-long learner and social activist. She started the first domestic violence shelter in Clinton, Iowa and pioneered several community social work initiatives having returned to school and completing her Masters’ Degree in Social Work. Kim was a life-long “birder,” loved reading, movies, current events and travel and was a committed volunteer to local and world peace and justice efforts.

She is survived by great memories with friends in Charlestown, RI, Rowayton, CT, Clinton IA, Chapel Hill, NC and Portland, OR and more; and especially family including three of her four children: Bill of Land O Lakes, FL, David of Auckland, NZ and Amy of Portland, OR.; daughters-in-law, Myriam and Bhakti, grand children Rama, Anne-Marie and Alex; great grandchildren Tristan, Gabriel, Manu, Samba, Micah and Anderson.

A Celebration of Kim’s Life is planned for November 28 at St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church in Pittsboro, North Carolina where she and Dick attended while living at Fearrington Village and Carolina Meadows; also at a gathering of friends at Mary’s Woods.
