Cynthia Capasso's Obituary
Cynthia "Cindy" Capasso, of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, passed away peacefully at home on Friday, June 26, 2026, after a courageous battle with Corticobasal Degeneration. She was 69 years old. Born on April 30, 1957, in Newark, New Jersey, Cindy was the cherished daughter of the late Wilbert and Marion (Schmidt) Decker.
On September 30, 1978, Cindy married the love of her life, Carl Capasso, at Sacred Heart Church in Bloomfield, New Jersey. Together they built a beautiful life centered on love, family, and unwavering devotion to one another for nearly 48 years.
Cindy enjoyed a successful career as a hospital administrator, where she was respected for her compassion, professionalism, and dedication to serving others. While she took great pride in her career, her greatest joy was always her family. Cindy was a devoted wife, loving mother, and adoring grandmother whose kindness, warmth, and generous spirit touched everyone who knew her.
Cindy found happiness in life's simple pleasures. She loved cooking and baking for family gatherings, tending to her garden, sewing, vacationing with loved ones, taking cruises, and spending time at the beach. Above all, nothing brought her greater joy than being with her beloved grandchildren. Whether celebrating milestones, creating family traditions, or simply enjoying everyday moments together, Cindy treasured every minute spent with them.
Cindy is survived by her beloved husband, Carl Capasso; her daughters, Stephanie Shea and her husband, Brian, Jessica Capasso and her husband Daniel Mendez, Carla Capasso and her husband, Francisco, and Christina Capasso; her cherished grandchildren, Mason, Addison, Noah, Oliver, Marlo, Lolene, Ruby, and Valentino; as well as her siblings, nieces, nephews, extended family, and many dear friends.
In addition to her parents, Cindy was preceded in death by her beloved in-laws, Carmella and Clement Capasso.
Cindy will be remembered for her loving heart, gentle strength, and the unwavering care she gave to her family and everyone fortunate enough to know her. Her legacy of love, kindness, and generosity will live on in the hearts of all who loved her.
A Celebration of Cindy's Life will be held at a later date.
