Catherine Catherine Hannick, 95, passed away on June 3, 2020 in Hoquiam, Washington. Catherine was born Sept. 13, 1924, to Joseph and Clara Randich. She was the oldest of nine children. Her mother died when she was a teen and she helped her father raise the younger children.
Catherine married John Hannick in 1943 and raised four children in Aberdeen. John’s job took them to Everett in 1978. She returned to Aberdeen in 2009 to be close to her family. The last six years she found a loving home at Riverside Place in Hoquiam.
Croatian traditions have always been important to her family and she helped keep them alive with her Croatian cooking and baking and putting on large family gatherings. Entertaining was one of her greatest gifts. She will be remembered for her sense of humor, spunkiness and the sparkly hats she so loved to wear, especially to the casino, one of her favorite places to go. Catherine was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and sister and she truly will be missed.
She was preceded in death by her parents, sister Lorraine, brother Dave, husband John and son John. She is survived by son Joe (Kelsa), daughters Kathy (Dennis) Long and Sheri (Paul) Stutesman, six grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, four sisters and two brothers.
A celebration of life will be planned at a future date. Memorial contributions may be made to Riverside Place, 1649 Broadway Ave, Hoquiam WA 98550.
