Kathryn “Kathy” Hamilton, 66, died September 14, 2021 with her family by her side.
She was born May 13, 1955 in Des Moines to Stewart and Marilyn Aldrich. She was the oldest of seven children. She graduated from Waukee High School in 1973. She received her accounting certificate from Des Moines Area Community College and worked in accounting for several companies throughout her career.
Kathy devoted much of her time and energy to her children, Jeremy and Katie, and her large, extended family – always being the photographer at events. One of her greatest joys was being a grandmother to Wyatt, Jackson, Ava and Maeve. She loved attending all the important events of her children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. She was the family member everyone went to for support, last minute sewing projects or just to relax. She loved having family dinner with her parents, crafting and gardening with her daughter, listening to music with her son and cooking and baking for family events. Her presence will be greatly missed by the Aldrich and Mahedy families.
Kathy is survived by her children, Jeremy (Sarah) Hamilton, Katie (Tyler) Peterson and Jadie Van Pelt; and siblings, Tom Aldrich, Jerry Aldrich, Marcia (Steve) Greenslade, Cindy (Scott) Dyer, Jan (Dan) Tyler and Dee Harbaugh. She was preceded in death by her parents.
