Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dolores Catania has a lot to be thankful for. Her two children are now both healthy — and successful! 

Gabrielle Catania, 25, passed her veterinarian exams prior to her COVID-19 diagnosis on Dec. 23, 2020. "Gabrielle was like, 'There's no way in hell COVID is going to take me out... I'm graduating in May," proud mom Dolores, who took care of her daughter, told Page Six

Gabrielle is set to graduate from the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University in spring 2021. Gabrielle graduated from the Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in Saint Kitts in the West Indies prior to being accepted for her clinical year at the Boston-based Tufts, per Bravo's The Daily Dish. Gabrielle also emphasizes her charity work on Instagram, including raising funds for the Phelan McDermid Community in honor of her cousin on the autism spectrum. 

Dolores' son Frankie Jr. is pursuing a career in investment banking, per Page Six. The 22-year-old Seton Hall University grad even went to prom with pal and fellow RHONJ teen Gia Giudice! The Catania family remains as close as ever — even if their living arrangements change every once in a while!
