Our hearts are broken as we share that Courtney Caldwell - Valente passed away peacefully on October 25, 2025, surrounded by love at Margaret’s Place Hospice in Dundas, ON.

Courtney was the light of our lives — radiant, compassionate, and endlessly loved. Her spirit shone through everything she touched: in her laughter, her friendships, her love of food, cooking, cats, music and family, and the way she made every room brighter simply by being there.

She faced her illness with extraordinary courage and grace, reminding us all of the strength found in love, hope, and faith.

Courtney will be deeply missed by her husband Ed, her beloved mother Maria (Dolores), her predeceased father John, her sister Megan, and her extended family and friends who loved her dearly.
