elevated TzJP4 Catherine Valenti (née De Gaetano), 65, returned to her heavenly home on November 25, 2018, after a valiant battle with cancer. Her faith and devotion to her family supported her in her struggle and ultimately gave her peace. Beloved wife of Santino. Cherished mother of Adam and Richard (Mary Rose). Devoted Nonna of Matthew, Chiara, Gianna, and Maria Teresa. Doting daughter of Maria (née Pirri) and the late Santo De Gaetano. Loving sister of Antonette (David Matthews). Predeceased by her brother Joseph. Kindly remembered by brothers-in-law Paul (Rosa), Joe (Antonietta), Tony (Rosetta), Carmen (Pina), Carmelo and sisters-in-law Pasqua and Franca.

Also an avid gardener, artist, theatre-goer and cook, who enriched the lives of others with her enthusiasm, hospitality, sense of humour, and perpetual smile. Cathy was always friendly, helpful, and empathetic towards all.
The Valenti family extends their gratitude to Dr. Ferguson of Princess Margaret Hospital, Dr. Dhar of Toronto General Hospital, and PSWs Michelle and Hyacinth for their dedicated care.
