I am so sorry to hear about Catarina’s passing. We worked together at KPMG quite frequently, both on the admin side as well as on trainings. She was kind and thoughtful, and loved to learn. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

I met Catarina through a virtual work project, and when we found out we lived nearby, we had the chance to connect in person. She was amazing and volunteered her time to support the KPMG Network of Women initiatives I was part of, including helping out at a leadership conference early one Saturday morning (where this photo was taken).
Catarina had such a kind heart, was incredibly thoughtful, and extremely funny. She spoke so lovingly of her husband and son—she was so proud. I wish I had more time with her; she was a warm and wonderful person to be around. My deepest condolences to her family. The world has lost a beautiful and generous soul.
Working with Catarina has been one of my best experiences at Cap 1. Even after so many years, and we all have moved on to different parts of the world in our lives, I still remember her kindness and laughter in our office.
Catarina, you will be deeply remembered.
Our condolences to her family from Taiwan. ❤️
We will miss Catarina's bright smile, energy and friendliness. Our thoughts and prayers are with Zach, Noah, Miguel, Catarina's family and all of her friends.

A daughter. A sister. A wife. A mother. A friend. My sunshine.
I still can’t believe I’m writing this. My heart aches as I try to find the words to honor someone who meant so much to me. Catarina Couto wasn’t just my friend — she was a light in my life, a true ray of sunshine who brought laughter, comfort, and warmth wherever she went. From the very first day we spoke at work, I knew there was something special about her. That brightness, that spark — it stayed with her every single day, and it’s why I started calling her my sunshine. 🌞
Catarina had this rare, beautiful gift — she always put others first. She was the first to comfort someone, to lift them up with a joke or a story, to remind them that they weren’t alone. Whether it was a laugh we shared or one of her humorous anecdotes that brightened a hard day, she had a way of making the world feel a little lighter just by being in it.
Everyone who crossed her path was touched by her kindness — whether they realized it in the moment or not. She had a way of blessing people, not through grand gestures, but through her quiet strength, her care, and her incredible heart.
She loved so deeply. Catarina was a devoted wife, and her love for her husband was unwavering. And her boys — her beautiful twin sons, Miguel and Noah — they were her whole world. She spoke of them with so much pride and joy. Her love for her family radiated in everything she did.
Losing her leaves a hole in my world that can’t be filled. It’s less bright now without her here. But I hold tight to the memories — the light she gave me, the laughter we shared, and the sunshine she brought into my life. Those memories will always be with me, and they’ll keep me smiling even on the hardest days.
Rest peacefully, my dear Catarina. I love you always.
🧡
Your friend forever,
Lorraine Lake
