Cathleen M. Vitolo

Vitolo, Cathleen M. (Walsh), 66, of Absecon passed away at home surrounded by loved ones (while listening to Van Morrison) after a courageous battle with cancer.

Cathy was predeceased by her parents Thomas and Patricia Walsh, as well as siblings James Walsh and Eileen Stevenson. She is survived by her children, Jennifer Vitolo (Bradley) Ray, Vanessa Vitolo (Sean Freese) and Andrea Vitolo (Chris) Connor; her two grandchildren Ella and Xavier Ray; her sister Patricia Walsh and two brothers Michael and Dennis (Eileen) Walsh, as well as many nieces and nephews.

Cathy was a special, fun loving, devoted mother. The beach was her happy place. She was an avid Philadelphia sports fan, and she loved a good party! Most of all, she enjoyed spending time with her daughters, and her grandchildren.

Cathy leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and compassion. She will be deeply missed. The family would like to express a special thank you to Cathy’s best friend Kathleen Weston and Holy Redeemer Hospice, especially Claire Jordan.

Memorial gathering will be Monday January 14, 2019 from 9:45AM to 10:45AM with mass at 11AM at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church in Absecon.

In order to conserve and care for Cathy’s happy place, memorial donations may be made to Oceana.
