Debbie Catalano

Debra Ann Catalano (Bachewicz), age 71, passed away peacefully on April 3, 2026.

Born on August 14, 1954, in Chicago, Illinois, Debbie was a longtime resident of Illinois before making her home in Naples, Florida. She built a successful career in the medical field, working as an office manager, where she was known for her intelligence, organization, and dedication.

Debbie will be remembered for loving fiercely and living life with strength, determination, and independence. She had a wonderful sense of humor, a kind heart, and was a loyal and cherished friend to many. She found joy in decorating, gardening, shopping, and, most of all, spending time with her family and friends.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, James Catalano, and her son-in-law, Patrick S. Doody.

Debbie is lovingly survived by her daughters, Lisa (Vince) and Stacy (Scott); her cherished grandchildren, Lauren, Verity, Kaitlyn, Chloe, Riley, Meghan, and Thomas; and her beloved dog, Harley.

A visitation will be held on April 6, 2026, from 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Salerno’s Rosedale Chapels, 450 W. Lake Street, Roselle, Illinois, with a Chapel Service at 7:00 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that memorial donations be made to Rainbow Hospice, whose kindness and compassion brought comfort during her final days.
