Caterina Ferrante

August 19, 1918 — April 19, 2010

FERRANTE, Caterina (nee Pasini) was almost 92 years old when she passed away peacefully on April 19, 2010. With her parents and siblings, she immigrated to the US from Lipari, Italy and lived in Brooklyn, New York for over 50 years. On a visit to her family home in Italy in 1953, she met and married Antonino with whom she spent 47 years. She worked as a seamstress before moving to Dayton to live near her grandchildren for the past 17 years. She left a legacy of optimism, generosity, hard work, laughs, and dedication to her family. Her family will always remember the Sunday meals at Nona's. Her son feels very fortunate to have had such a loving mother. Caterina is survived by her son (Frank), daughter-in-law (Kathy), grandchildren (Amanda, Andrew and David), sisters (Anna and Bartolomea) and dozens of nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her husband (Antonino), siblings (Anthony, Domenica, Grace) and parents (Anna and Vincenzo). We sincerely appreciate the wonderful care Caterina received from the nurses and aides at St. Leonard Health Care Center over the past 30 months. A Mass of Christian burial will be held at St. Charles Borromeo Church, 4500 Ackerman Blvd, Kettering at 11:00 on Thursday, April 22. The family will receive friends from 9:30 until 11 at the church. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the St. Leonard Foundation-Health Care Center Fund or to Hospice of Dayton. Condolences and other remembrances may be sent to the family at www.routsong.com.
