Cathryn (“Cathy”) A. Hamilton, 71, a lifelong resident of Cicero, died on Feb. 10, 2026. Born on Sept. 16, 1954, she cherished spending time with family, whether it be at extended family gatherings or visiting relatives in Tennessee. She adored her nieces and nephews and was an avid dog lover and owner. She was quite good at freehand drawing and dedicated many happy hours to her artwork. She had a fondness for butterflies and angels, reflecting her gentle spirit. Her faith was very important to her. For 22 years, she looked forward to seeing and talking to her regular customers at the Jewel checkout and during the same period absolutely loved working with children in the after-school care program at Our Lady of Charity in Cicero.
