MACRINA CATALAN Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Born on January 14, 1941, and raised in Mexico with deep Oaxacan roots, Macrina lived a life full of love, strength, and unwavering faith. She was the devoted wife of Santiago Catalan and the proud matriarch of a large and loving family. Together, they built a legacy grounded in unity, tradition, and compassion.
Macrina was the cherished mother of eight children, grandmother to 19,and great-grandmother to 9. Her home was always filled with warmth, laughter, and the comforting aroma of her cooking-a place where everyone felt welcome. A devout Catholic, Macrina lived her faith through acts of kindness, generosity, and service to others. Her gentle spirit, nurturing heart, and ever-present hospitality touched the lives of all who knew her.
She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who had the blessing of knowing her. Though she is no longer with us, her love, strength, and legacy will live on in the hearts of those she leaves behind.
