Katherine H. (Hunt) Rapp, 80, of Butler, entered God’s eternal kingdom on Thursday, Aug. 24, 2023, under the care of Transitions Hospice at Sunnyview Rehabilitation and Nursing Center.

Born Aug. 30, 1942, in Butler, she was the daughter of the late Dr. Robert E. and Katherine R. (McDonald) Hunt.

Katherine was a graduate of Butler High School and went on to become a nurse’s aide at Butler Memorial Hospital. She later retired as Second Deputy of the Office of the Prothonotary in Butler. She was a member of St. Mark’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Butler, where she helped create the Children’s Hour program.
