Katherine M. Armstong Hamler

January 5, 1929 - November 9, 2026

Katherine M. Armstrong Hamler, age 97 of Groveport, Ohio, passed away peacefully on November 9, 2026.

Katherine lived a long and meaningful life, making lasting memories and friendships along the way. She enjoyed painting ceramics and collecting lighted Christmas village pieces, which brought her great joy during her favorite time of year. Christmas was especially meaningful to Katherine, not because of the gifts, but because of the time spent with family and, most importantly, celebrating the birth of Jesus.

Katherine was a Hamilton Township High School graduate. Throughout her working years, Katherine made numerous friends and touched many lives through her employment with Farm Bureau/Nationwide Insurance, Motorist Mutual Insurance, the family business Hamler Insurance, and the American Jersey Cattle Club. In the early 1970s, she also served as a local Deputy Registrar for the State of Ohio.

Katherine will be remembered for her love of family, her friendships, her faith, and the special traditions she cherished throughout her life.

She is survived by her son, Gene (Carrie) Hamler; grandsons, Andy (Allie) Kness, Aaron (Katie) Kness; great grandchildren; sister-in-law, MaryAnn Armstrong; great nieces and nephews; special cousins, Steve Armstrong, Janie Harder, Kae Jones, and Shirley Snyder; and special friend, Georgia (Rick) Williams.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Ralph E. Armstrong and Edith H. Kuhn Armstrong; former husband, Richard M. Hamler; brother, Richard E. Armstrong; and nephew, Paul Quigley.

Katherine's 97 years were filled with memories, friendships, family and faith. She will be dearly missed by those who knew and loved her, but her memory will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to share in her life.

"May we find comfort knowing that Katherine is now celebrating Christmas in Heaven, reunited with loved ones who went before her, and celebrating the birth of the Savior she loved so dearly."

Family will receive friends at Myers-Woodyard Funeral Home, 582 Main Street, Groveport, Ohio on Monday, November 16, 2026, from 11 am until time of funeral service at 1 pm. Reverend Ron Reese officiating. Burial will follow at Franklin Hills Memory Gardens, Canal Winchester, Ohio.
