Catalena Perez Obituary Catalena Amador Perez, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away on November 14, 2024, at the age of 68. Born on July 15, 1956, to
Guadalupe and Transcito Amador in Osceola, Arkansas, she lived a life filled with
creativity, love, and an unwavering commitment to capturing the beauty of family
moments during her career as a talented family portrait photographer in Pasadena,
Texas.
A gifted photographer, Cathy had an extraordinary talent for capturing the essence of family moments, turning each session into a celebration of love and connection. Her
warm smile and infectious enthusiasm made everyone feel comfortable, allowing her to
create stunning portraits that families will cherish for years to come. Beyond her
photography, she had a remarkable flair for making any space feel inviting and beautiful,
often arranging her home like a carefully curated store display filled with her beloved
antiques and collectibles.
Her passion for collecting went beyond mere possession; it was an expression of her
appreciation for history and craftsmanship. Friends and family will remember her as the
most loving and accepting person, always encouraging others to express their
individuality. She believed in the beauty of diversity and fostered an environment of
kindness and understanding. Her love for animals was equally boundless; she had a
special place in her heart for dogs and would have adopted every stray dog and cat in
the area if she could. Her compassion extended to all living beings, making her a
cherished mother, friend, and family member. Her children and those closest to her will
remember her off beat sense of humor that often kept them in stitches with fondness
and as one of her best traits.
Cathy is survived by her spouse Alejandro Canales, children Timothy Canales, Jessika
Tucker, and Armando Perez. She was preceded in death by her son Samuel
