Hastings Reminder - Aug. 2013

Clarksville, MI- Elaine L. (Brandt) Catt, age 73, of Clarksville passed away 
Thursday, August 22, 2013 at Spectrum Butterworth Campus as the result of a car 
accident.

She was born on February 23, 1940 to Robert and Florence (Morlok) Brandt in 
Portland. Elaine graduated from Saranac High School in 1958. She was employed 
at the Chrysler Corporation for a number of years.

Elaine was known for her drawing talent having won awards at the Ionia Free 
Fair. She also had attended The Kendall School of Art & Design in Grand Rapids. 
She was a familiar face around the Clarksville area attending community events 
as well as the weekly senior citizens luncheons. Elaine loved traveling to art 
and craft shows as well as fairs and carnivals all over Michigan, she also 
loved the Upper Peninsula and spent many a summer there with her family.

She was "Annie" to her nieces and when younger, took them on trips with her 
that always turned out to be quite an adventure of memories for them. You never 
saw Elaine go too long without a pet and was often seen with her dog Ziggy 
riding as her passenger looking like "Marmaduke" in the front seat. He was her 
constant companion.

Elaine will be remembered by some of her intuitive nature.

She will be dearly missed by daughter, Malinda (Chad) Steinhilber, Mansfield, 
OH, sister, Shirley Stahl, Hastings; nephew, Brian (Jen) Stahl, Clarksville; 
nieces, Sherry (Ron) Klein, Lake Odessa, Kris (Brian England, Middleville; many 
great-nieces and great-nephews; and co-pilot dog Ziggy.

Preceding her in death are her parents and special niece Kelly (Bob) Tingley.

A memorial celebration of Elaine's life will be held at a later date. Memorial 
contributions in her name may be made to the Barry County Humane Society or 
Ionia County Humane Society.
