Caterina Adelfia Corazza Toffolo Taurian, born October 21, 1922, passed away peacefully at her home in Moncton, NB, on September 16, 2013 at the age of 90 surrounded by family and friends.
Born in Chions, (Friuli, Italy) she was the daughter of Pietro and Augusta Corazza, the youngest of 5 sisters (Estina, Elisa, Elda and Irma) and 4 brothers (Giovanni, Enzo, Antonio, and Alfonso) with whom she had a long and loving relationship.

Caterina was much loved by all who knew her. She was kind, respectful, considerate, and always ready to share a smile, a good word and her wholesome spirit.
Very special thanks is extended for the excellent care provided by the Extramural Driscoll Unit, We Care Home Health Services and the Palliative and Geriatric Team who assisted Caterina with her wish to remain at home.
