Caterina De Leo Obituary
With profound sadness, we say goodbye to Caterina De Leo (Union, New Jersey), whose vibrant spirit touched the lives of many. Caterina left this world on December 10, 2025 at the age of 42, leaving a void in the lives of so many people. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
As Caterina departs from this earthly realm, her essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though Caterina may no longer walk beside us, her spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy Caterina leaves behind.
She is survived by: her parents, Rosa Leo and Alfonso De Leo; her sister Maria Helgesen; her brother-in-law Matthew Helgesen; her sibling's children, Leon, Zach Helgesen and Zoey Helgesen; and her grandmother Maria Dotro. She is also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins.
