Help us celebrate Doris! Please share your stories and photos, and invite others who remember Doris.
Doris Ann Catani was welcomed into the arms of Christ on October 6, 2020 surrounded by her husband and children.
She was a member of St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church where she was a faithful parishioner. She lovingly cared for her family, home, and her Tellico Village community. Many who knew her recognized she had a PHD in love.
Born on December 14, 1933 in New Jersey, she moved as an adult to Ohio and Illinois prior to retiring in East Tennessee. Having traveled extensively, her favorite trips included family. On her best days you'd find her preparing a meal, writing a thoughtful letter or card, making a beautiful craft, listening to a friend or family member, or reading a favorite book or magazine. Always stylish, ever sensible, and a loving wife, mother, sister, and Nonni, she lived a complete love story.
Predeceased by her parents and brothers, Howard and Donald Leber.

Catani; son and daughter-in-law, Steven and Karen Catani; daughter and son-in-law, Annette and Michael Pfeiffer; son and daughter-in-law, Tom and Deanene Catani; son and daughter-in-law, Christopher and Catherine Catani; grandchildren: Matthew (Stephanie) Catani, Sean (Amanda) Pfeiffer, Ryan Pfeiffer and Elaine Loarca, Cate (Eric) Robertson, Christopher Pfeiffer and Stephanie Mikel, Kellen (Callie) Catani, Ciarra (Bryan) Meeker, Cedar Pasori and Alex Gardner, Lauren Pfeiffer and James Keating, Sazan Pasori and Tim Switzer, Karly Light, and Mario H.
