On January 21, 2023, Graciella Anne Perez, loving wife, mother, daughter, peacefully passed away at the early age of forty-three surrounded by family and close friends.
She is survived by her loving husband Curtis and son Caiden, her parents Estela and Sonny Salegumba, her siblings Len Salegumba, Leah and Jess Paulino. Adored by her in-laws Virginia and Raul Perez, Tricia and Jim O’Quinn, Carlos and Rachel Perez, and her many nieces and nephews.

Truly one of a kind, a Martha Stewart-type in that everything she did was done with purpose, passion and heart. She had a creative eye, always gave it her all, and made everything look effortless and elegant.

Grace was devoted to her family. She deeply valued family traditions; from annual summer camping trips to family holidays and everything in between.

Grace was selfless, always putting others’ happiness and needs before her own. Reliable, dependable, the heartbeat of the family.

Her smile gave a sense of warmth and comfort leaving a lasting impression with
everyone she has met. Grace was a great listener who provided comforting advice and always made everyone feel valued and important.

She will be greatly missed by her loving family and friends. And will forever be remembered in our hearts. We are sincerely grateful to the many family and friends who have given us support and comfort during this difficult time.

Arrangements with Destefano Funerfal Home. Mass of Christian Burial at Holy Family Catholic Church, 91 Ribblesdale Drive, Whitby, Ontario at 10:30 am., on Wednesday, February 1, 2023.
