Catherine “Kitty” DiPasquale, 95, of Howell passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, Oct 28th , 2023. Kitty was born in Jersey City, NJ, and had been married to her husband Charles (Chuck) for 72 years. They had moved to Howell in 1970 and she lived in Howell until her passing.

Kitty was a stay-at-home mom who had raised her 11 children. She was a woman of strong Catholic faith, and she loved music. At any given family event, she would be the one singing and clapping along to the music. For her 90 th birthday celebration, we had brought in a local ragtime band to play, and she was in her glory. She had an open-door policy and loved it when people would come over to see her. She would sit for hours over a cup of tea or coffee just chatting away. She loved to play card games, but she especially loved her trips to Atlantic City with her husband to play the slot machines. She would sit for hours playing the slot machines and making friends with whoever happened to be sitting nearby.

Kitty was pre-deceased by her husband Chuck, and her son Dan DiPasquale. She is survived by her children, Charles DiPasquale Jr, John & Debbie DiPasquale, Pat & Rich Hawkins, Gary & Mona DiPasquale, Susan & John Fagioli, Linda & Wally Clayton, Ray & Marie DiPasquale, Gene & Tracey DiPasquale, Carolyn & Mike Culloo, Chris & Tricia DiPasquale, adopted son Bob & Carol Johnston, 27 grandchildren and great-grandchildren and her sister Jenie York. Kitty had a very large extended circle of nieces and nephews, family, and many close friends, and will be dearly missed by all. She was a wonderful Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother, Aunt, and friend to many.

Arrangements are under the direction of the DiCostanzo family owned, Lakewood Funeral Home, 6250 Highway 9, Howell, NJ. 

A Roman Catholic Funeral Mass will be held at St Veronica’s RC Church in Howell, NJ on Saturday, November 18, 2023 at 10 a.m.
