Obituary
Claudia Valeria Caterina Oriano, 29, of Toronto, passed away suddenly in her sleep on November 1, 2023.
Claudia was born on September 9th, 1994 to Emanuele Oriano & Allegra Marchesin in Padova, Italy. Claudia and her family arrived in Canada on November 4 1998. Claudia attended highschool at Humberside Collegiate Institute and graduated in 2013. While there, she co-chaired the environmental action team and was involved with Classics, poetry and the orchestra, where she played the Viola. Her passion and dedication to expanding her horizons led her to travel to France on exchange in her Grade 10 year and her love of fresh baguettes and berets. She went on to double major in Medieval Art and Medieval Studies at Victoria College within the University of Toronto, spending another year abroad at the University of Nottingham: her love of Sangria and late night dancing blossomed.
After graduating, Claudia dedicated her time to teaching English overseas. She initially taught in Murcia & Almeria, Spain and subsequently moved to Lisboa, Portugal to continue in her passion for teaching. At the end of 2021, Claudia made her epic return to Canada, where she promptly had to quarantine (but not without first taking pictures on the TTC).
Claudia loved traveling and dragging her friends along. She made her way to both coasts with Jessica, Eastern Europe/Spain & the US with Alice, even more of Europe with Sam, not to mention her numerous travels with her family. Claudia prioritized her relationships, spending time with her brother playing board games and Dungeons & Dragons, checking out new bars, creating art and watching terrible tv with Natalia and playing Jeopardy and laughing with mom. Claudia loved talking about ridiculous romance novels with Effie, knowing that no matter what they talked about, there was always laughter, and a knowledge that their friendship was like the warm and safe feeling of a cup of tea by the fire.
She is survived by her nonna Paola, mamma Allegra, papá Emanuele, step mother Lia, brother Leonardo, sister in law Kristin, stepsister Erica, Zia Marisa, Zio Gilberto, cousins Eugenio, Anika, Giulia, Daniel, baby Zeno, Zio Vittorio and Zio Massimo.
