Catherine E. Hank (nee, Hutzel), known to most of her family as "Katie", "Grandma Katie" to one special granddaughter, and to many as" Kate", born June 15, 1954, died on February 26, 2025, in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Katie was a loving and giving nurturer. She cared for her husband as his health declined, cared for her mother for many years until her death at 102 in July of 2024, cared for her younger siblings and for many dogs throughout her life, most recently, her loyal companion, Butterscotch, a Wheaton Terrier. An avid hiker, Katie had a deep connection to nature and the outdoors. She brought her love for the outdoors into her home with her green thumb and abundance of house plants thriving in every room. She had an amazing sense of humor and was known for her witty one-liners.
