Obituary for Catherine Prostko (Hanes)
Catherine Prostko, 94, of Kenosha, passed away peacefully on Monday, April 22, 2019, at Hospice Alliance Hospice House.
Born in Gary, IN, on July 20, 1924, she was the daughter of the late William and Eva (Sofianos) Hanes.
On September 13, 1948, she married Stanley Prostko at the St. Casimir Rectory; he preceded her in death on June 25, 2017.
Catherine was employed as a Medical Laboratory Receptionist for many years at St. Catherine’s Hospital. She was a former member of St. Casimir Catholic Church. Upon the merging of St. Casimir and St. George Parishes, she became a member of St. Elizabeth Catholic Church.
