The heart of our family left us today. She left us with beautiful memories and a strong sense of family. Each of us will strive to be everything she instilled in us.

Jean Caputo (nee DiFuria), of Convent Station, passed away peacefully at home on Friday, June 2, 2017 surrounded by her family. She was 97.
