Although generous with giving of her time and talents, Katy enjoyed many interests in her free time. An avid gardener, she tended to both her flower beds and a vegetable garden. The excess from the garden was canned so it could be enjoyed over the winter. A good cook, her homemade vegetable soup and peach pie were huge family favorites and they looked forward each year to the traditional Christmas meal of roast beef, mashed potatoes and corn. She looked forward to all the holidays so she could decorate the house. Other hobbies included cross stitching, attending sporting events, working jig saw puzzles and playing cards most nights. Her family teased that Katy apparently had a weakness for shopping and didn’t mind the drive to the Belterra Casino.
She is survived by her husband Jim; daughter Lisa Wallpe of Greensburg; son Greg Hortemiller of Cincinnati; sisters Eleen Weisenbach of Batesville, Cornelia Hoffman of Dover, Indiana; grandchildren Erin Smith, Jordan Wallpe, Sarah Wallpe, Alison Wallpe, Anna Wallpe, Evan Wallpe and great grandchildren Lila Smith, Landon Smith and Rhett Wallpe. In addition to her parents, she is also preceded in death by grandson Adam Hortemiller.
