Catherine Lynn Gruhl was born in Davenport, IA, the daughter of Albert Gruhl & Sue (Painter, Gruhl) Navratil. Each of us has a story. Sometimes the details become the focus shadowing the life lived. Catherine was amazingly intelligent and resourceful; could do anything she set her mind to. She loved dogs and spent years as a trainer. She was artistically very talented. Her experiences, trials, and triumphs made her a strong advocate for those experiencing homelessness.

Survivors include her son, Catlin Ashenfelter; and her siblings, Cari Bosserdet and Barry Gruhl. Catherine was preceded in death by her parents.
