Caterina Martorana D’Orsa

July 29, 1960 - July 23, 2021

On July 23, 2021, Caterina Martorana D’Orsa, loving wife and mother to three children, passed away at the age of 60. Caterina was born and raised in Montreal, and spent over twenty years in the West Island.   

She married Francesco D’Orsa on September 16, 1988 and raised their three children: Dany (Alexia), David (Billy), and Veronica. Caterina was a courageous woman, whose strength and resilience was a source of inspiration to all of those around her. She was creative, with a passion for cooking, baking, and painting.

Classy and elegant, Caterina had an eye for fashion and art, while having an expert decorating touch. Most importantly, she loved being around her family and spoiling her children and grandchildren alike. Caterina was preceded in death by her brother, Biagio Martorana, and father, Calogero Martorana. She is succeeded by her loving husband, Francesco D’Orsa, her children, Dany, Alexia, David, Billy, and Veronica, as well as two grandchildren, Christian and Matthew.

  5. You never said I’m leaving
    You never said goodbye
    You were gone before I knew it,
    And only God knew why.
    A million times I needed you.
    A million times I cried
    If love alone could have saved you,
    You never would have died.
    In life I love you dearly,
    In death I love you still.
    In my heart you hold a place,
    That no one will ever fill.
    It broke my heart to lose you,
    But you didn’t go alone.
    For part of me went with you,
    The day God took you home.

  6. My sincerest condolences for your loss. Cathy was always a source of strength and encouragement.
