Katrina Grace Berenyi
Katrina Grace Berenyi, known to her family as Katie, Katie-Bobby, and Curly, passed away peacefully on Friday, October 14th, 2022 with her parents and sisters by her side, after fighting a hard and courageous battle with cancer at just 18 years old.
Katie was born on March 20th, 2004 in her hometown of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. She loved to play video games, draw, read, and sing. She spent her summers at Buffalo View with her lake family, where she was always swimming, hiking, or hanging out at the park. For all her life, even throughout her illness, Katie always had a big smile on her face and a “positive vibes only” attitude.
Katie is survived by her parents, Cheryl and George; sisters, Rochelle and MaryAnn; grandparents, George and Karen (paternal), and Wendy (maternal), and was predeceased by Grandma Maryann (paternal) and Nana and Papa (maternal). Also left to mourn her are Katie’s fur-babies, Pineapple and Brownie; boyfriend, Johan; and her loving aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, and friends – among so many others.
Katie touched the lives of all who had the joy of meeting her and her memory will live on in the hearts, minds, and laughter of many.
Special thanks to Dr. Sinha and the whole oncology team at the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital for fighting so hard for Katie, and for ensuring that her final moments were as comfortable and meaningful as possible.

I was saddened to read about Katie’s passing and can only imagine the grief of losing a precious daughter and sister. I remember Katie as a cute vivacious little girl when we were teaching together, Cheryl.
I will continue to think of and pray for all of you.
Cheryl and family. we are so sorry to hear of Katie’s passing. You will be in our hearts and our thoughts while you deal with your grief.
Jim and I loved Katie‘s so much she was always Jim’s special girl and the other kids knew it. Her special way with the younger kids and bright smile. We have many memories but one of the many we talk about is seeing her coming to the store in her diapers and no shoes with her sisters right behind her
My deepest sympathy to the family of Katrina. May she Rest In Peace free of pain. My prayers to all.
