Catalina Saclao Santos, 95, of Newmarket, Ontario, passed away peacefully on Friday, February 13, 2026.

Her culinary talent was legendary, and she was the person everyone called upon to prepare dishes for town fiestas, celebrations, and family gatherings. For Catalina, cooking was a language of love, and no one ever left her table hungry.

She also had a delightful sweet tooth, always enjoying cookies, grapes, chips, and her absolute favorite—White Rabbit candies.
