elevated aChIm At the age of 92, Catherine passed away peacefully with her loving family around her. She was the beloved wife for 38 years to the late Giuseppe, caring and devoted mum to Anna (Larry) and the late Frank (Kristine), cherished Nonna to Matteo(Logan), Katerina (Jesse), the late David, Kasia and Michela and loving Bisnonna to Rosalind. She had a large group of friends who will also miss her dearly. Catherine was born in 1934 in Gradiscutta di Varmo in Friuli, Italy and arrived in Canada in 1949 with her family. She, her parents and her four siblings worked hard to establish a new life. She was a cake decorator and married Giuseppe in 1957. They were active members of the Famee Furlane of Toronto and travelled frequently for congresses in Canada and beyond. Later, she became a devoted caregiver to her mother and husband. She provided a wall of love and support for all her family and friends. Catherine’s deeply loving presence lives on in our hearts.

Dearest Anna, deepest condolences to you and your family for the loss of your sweet mum. Love your friend Mary
Our family mourns the loss of our amazing Zia Rina. Who taught generations of children the joys of cream puffs and decorating gingerbread every Christmas. Who met every challenge with grace, and spent her life caring for others. And who found joy in bringing people together around her table, in her stunning garden, but mostly in the family and friends that were blessed to have known her. A solid pillar of the Peruzzi family, she was very loved, and will be sorely missed.
Dear Anna and family my deepest condolences for the loss of your mother 💙💙💙
