Catherine E. Hartman

Catherine E. Hartman, 90, of Goshen died Saturday, November 9, 2019 at home.

She was born April 1, 1929 in Tiskilwa, Illinois to Ernest and Nora (Lantz) Bohn.

On September 4, 1949 she married Harold W. Hartman in Pandora, Ohio. They recently celebrated their 70 ^th wedding anniversary.

He survives along with three children, Jolene Ritchie, Rita (John) Harnish and Steve (Laura) Hartman; seven grandchildren; a great-grandchild; a sister, Ellie Unruh; and two brothers, Stan (Anita) Bohn and John (Tina) Bohn.

Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by a daughter, Annette Hartman Moneyheffer, sisters, Helen Klassen and Esther Groves, and a brother, Alden Bohn.

Kate had a gift for noticing and appreciating all the beautiful things around her.  Her enthusiasm for nature motivated others to do the same. She saw the good in everyone.  She had a natural ability to inspire everyone she spent time with…family, friends, students, and acquaintances.

She was an inspiration to others through so many creative avenues…teaching, music, carving, and painting. Kate also enjoyed traveling, camping and working outdoors.

According to Kate’s wishes, there will be a private family service.  Cremation will take place at Yoder-Culp Crematory.

In lieu of flowers, send donations for a nature themed memorial in honor of Kate c/o Harold Hartman, to Yoder-Culp Funeral Home, 1911 South Main Street, Goshen, IN  46526.
