Kathleen Eynard

Kathleen "Kitty" Eynard passed away peacefully on October 26, 2026, surrounded by the love that she spent a lifetime giving to others. Though small in stature, Kitty was larger than life in every way. She was fierce, strong-willed, loving, and unforgettable. Her presence filled every room, and her absence leaves a space that can never truly be filled.

Kitty was the daughter of Vincent and Mary DeGaetano. She is survived by her siblings, Noel DeGaetano and Jennie Cavalcante, and was preceded in death by her brother, Vincent DeGaetano.

A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, Kitty's family was always the center of her world. She is survived by her loving children: Lisa Marie (Jeff) Caprio, Richard (Beth) Eynard, Hank (Tina) Eynard, Lauralee (John) Kephart, Kym Eynard-Bozzi, Cathie (Mike) DeLuca, and Sam Camacho.

She was the proud grandmother of Erica, Joshua, Rachel, Travis, Tony, Brittany, Morgan, Camren, Casie, Cierra, Aidan, Avery, Maximus, Anthony, Vhictorya, Courtney and Brittney, and the beloved great-grandmother of Destiny, Zack, Gia, JoJo, Mikey, Mya, Curtis, Jordan, Sophia, Luca, Lucy, and Gabriella.

Kitty was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Henry Eynard, and her cherished grandchildren, Rebecca Caprio and Lucas Eynard. She is now reunited with them and many other loved ones who went before her.

Family was Kitty's greatest joy. Her home was always open, welcoming family and friends with warmth, comfort, laughter, and a meal prepared with love. She took every opportunity to cheer on her children and grandchildren in their activities and accomplishments, always serving as one of their biggest supporters.

Kitty embraced life with enthusiasm and joy. She loved traveling and was blessed to spend her later years surrounded by family from New York to Florida and North Carolina. No matter where she was, being close to those she loved brought her the greatest happiness.

She found joy in cooking family meals, crocheting gifts made with love, playing cards and family games, dancing, traveling, and spending evenings watching Court TV. Music was woven deeply into the fabric of her life, and she passed that love of music on to her children, creating memories that will live on for generations.

Kitty was a spitfire who never hesitated to share her thoughts, whether they were requested or not. Her honesty, humor, strength, and spirited personality made her truly one of a kind. She was always ready for a good laugh, a lively conversation, and making memories with the people she loved.

The heart of her family, its matriarch and its Queen, Kitty leaves behind a legacy of love, resilience, laughter, and unconditional love. While her family mourns the loss of an extraordinary woman, they celebrate a life beautifully lived and a love that will remain with them forever.

Forever Loved, Forever Remembered"Those we love don't go away. They walk beside us every day, unseen, unheard, but always near; still loved, still missed, and very dear." ❤️
