Obituary of Adeline Cilurso
Adeline C. Cilurso, 92, of Vineland, New Jersey, passed away peacefully on May 22, 2025. Born on July 15, 1932, in Camden, New Jersey, she was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother.
Adeline was the heart of our family. She made every holiday special, passing down cherished family traditions - from the Feast of the Seven Fishes at Christmas to raisin bread and meat pie at Easter. Her home was always decorated to perfection, and Christmas music began playing in September - that was our mom. Her kitchen was filled with the sweet aroma of endless cookies for every occasion.
She also had a passion for gardening and a gift for writing poetry. She created a personal poem for each of us; treasures we will hold close forever. Adeline was always in motion - a true doer. She lived by the words of her father: "If you stop moving, you'll rust." That became her motto, and one we will carry with us.
She leaves behind a void in our hearts that will never be filled, but her legacy of love, tradition, and strength will live on through all of us.
Adeline was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 75 years, Frederick A. Cilurso, and her cherished grandson, Ricky C.
She is survived by her children: Lyn Barney; Frederick (Rick) Cilurso and his wife, Kathy; Karen Cullen and her husband, Michael; Robin Herrmann and her husband, Dennis. Also surviving are her grandchildren: Stacy, Ryan, Matthew, Jason, Michael, Kyle, Tyler, and Eric; her great-grandchildren: Hunter, Riley, Addy, Alex, Crew, Hudson, Romy, and Levi; and her great-great-grandchildren: Kyle, Jacob, and Grace. Adeline is also survived by her three sisters - Ester, Ellie, and Rosie - as well as countless nieces and nephews.
Please join Adeline's family and friends in honoring her life on Thursday, May 29, 2025 from 6:00pm until 8:00pm. Burial will be private for family.
