Marcella Hanenkamp Logsdon, Covington's 'Cookie Granny'
Marcella H. Hanenkamp Logsdon of Covington was known as "Cookie Granny," as she baked cookies for just about anyone who wanted them.
"If she made one tin of cookies, she made thousands of tins of cookies, or cobblers or cakes for somebody," said a granddaughter, Angie Ludwig of Fort Wright. "She even got permission at St. Charles to use their oven to bake for all the residents. She really was a great cookie maker and she enjoyed baking."

She also loved sewing and embroidering. She often made baptismal garments for the Cathedral, stitching the names and birthdays of babies on the white garments.
