Catarina Angelina Turco

Obituary Catarina Angelina Turco 3/18/1999 ~ 6/25/2008 Catarina Angelina Turco, daughter of Michael and Cindy Turco and granddaughter of Pat Richmond and Ralph Turco, received her wings to fly to Heaven. Cata loved sharing a room with sister Isabella (age 10) and getting into trouble with brother Mario (age 5). She was a joyful child with an independent streak who loved sitting on Daddy's shoulders, dancing with the Wiggles, watching both High School Musical DVD's, going on rides, looking at her scrapbooks, attending cousins' parties, playing with her babysitters, and being in Teacher Kathy's class. Catarina never met an obstacle she couldn't overcome until she encountered macrophage activation syndrome, a rare blood disease. Funeral Mass will be celebrated Monday, June 30th 2008, 11:00 am at St. Patrick Catholic Church. Interment Calvary Cemetery. Donations can be made to the Catarina Turco Fund at Mary Bridge Children's Foundation (P.O. Box 5296, Tacoma, WA 98415) to recognize and continue the personalized, exemplary medical care Catarina received for all nine years of her life.
