Caterina Sanginiti

September 14, 1923 – September 16, 2022

With great sadness, we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Caterina on September 16, 2022, just days after her 99th birthday. She is now reunited with our dad, Giuseppe (November 15, 1988). Beloved mother of Antonio (Giulia), Maria (Domenico Sestito), Vincenzo (Franca), Franca (Franco Russo), Giovanni, Liberata (Vito Venneri), Domenic (Maxine), Mario (Lucy) and Immacolata – Maggie (George Liambas). A proud nonna to 24 grandchildren, bisnonna to 37 great-grandchildren and trisnonna to 1 great-great grandchild (plus one more on the way), she will forever be in their hearts. Caterina is survived by her brother Vito and her sister-in-law’s Francesca and Maria Macri.

A fierce woman who embodied strength, determination, love and passion. Her love and dedication to her family were unwavering. She built the foundation of this amazing legacy, and all who are left behind will truly feel her absence.  Her warm, infectious smile and kind words of wisdom will be greatly missed. She will be smiling down on everyone that was lucky to have known her. Loved yesterday, today and always and forever.  Rest in Eternal Peace you earned it.
