Obituary published on Legacy.com by Alfieri Funeral Home, Inc. on Jan. 22, 2026.
Mary (Kathleen "Kathy" Canobbio) Bigante, apart from the body, present with the Lord! Kathy (84) traveled peacefully to her heavenly home surrounded by her loving family! She departed her earthly home with dignity and grace. Her beauty ran deep and loved spending months at her home in Erie, she enjoyed dancing, traveling to Italy with John, and playing cards. And she fulfilled her greatest goal to be a wonderful mother.

Kathy was born October 30, 1941, to Geno and Kay Canobbio (deceased). Preceding her in death was her beloved brother, Larry. Also preceding her in death is her beloved husband of 27 years, John. Kathy is survived by her cherished children, Tony, Darlene, and Geno (Mary), her adoring sister and shopping partner in crime Carolyn (Conrad – Deceased), her grandchildren, Tabatha Williams, Christian Kosht, and Gabriella Bigante, her stepchildren, Giannino and Aldo Bigante, and many nieces and nephews.

Her dedication to family will live on forever!

Special thanks to Amedisys Hospice in Monroeville, especially Maria, Melissa, and Mattie.
