Catherine Rose Macaluso

Catherine Terranella Macaluso, 85, passed away peacefully on January 15, 2026. Born in Dallas, Texas, Catherine was a lifelong resident of the Dallas area and rooted her life in faith, family, and the community she loved. She lived each day with a deep trust in God and a heart guided by prayer.

Catherine was the devoted wife of Anthony Macaluso, with whom she shared 57 years of marriage. Together they built a life centered on love, partnership, and family. They raised five children: Anthony (Joy) Macaluso, Anna (Daniel) Valles, Monica (Daniel) Castro, Raymond (Tricia) Macaluso, and Aaron (Belinda) Macaluso. She was a proud matriarch whose greatest joy was being surrounded by her family.

She was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Raymond and Annie Terranella, her sister Angie, and her brother Philip, who now welcome her into eternal rest.

Those who knew Catherine will remember her as faithful, loving, friendly, family oriented, artistic, and kind. She was an excellent cook, known for meals that brought people together. She loved hosting gatherings, playing games, and traveling, always finding joy in connection and new experiences. Her creativity shone through in her artistic talents, and her warmth made everyone feel welcome in her home.

Catherine's life was marked by devotion-to her faith, to her family, and to the people fortunate enough to know her. Her legacy of love and faith will continue to live on in all who were blessed to know her and the countless memories she created with them.

She is also survived by her beloved grandchildren, listed here in alphabetical order: Bella, Blake, Connor, Fernanda, Hannah, Kaitlyn, McKenzie, Montserrat, Natalia, Sam, and Wyatt. She was also a proud aunt to many nieces and nephews, each of whom held a special place in her heart.
