Carolina Belle Katonik – Pittsburgh

By obits

 

Carolina Belle Katonik was born into the arms of angels on Tuesday, July 25, 2023, at Magee Women’s Hospital in Pittsburgh. She entered into the world at 5:21 p.m., surrounded by the immense love of her family. Carolina is the beloved first child of David and Jessica Levi Katonik of Pittsburgh. In addition to her parents, she is survived by her maternal grandparents, Daniel and Kristine Anderson Levi; her paternal grandparents, Ronald and Mary Beth Whetzel Katonik; as well as uncles, aunts, cousins and two sets of maternal great-grandparents. Although she was faced with many challenges, Carolina continued to prove her strength until the very last moment of her life. She will forever be missed, but her family is at peace knowing that she lives on in the presence of the Lord Jesus. Arrangements were entrusted to FRYE FUNERAL HOME INC., Monongahela. Expressions of sympathy may be made to the family at www.fryefuneralhome.com.
