Baldwin Brothers Funerals & Cremation Society - New Smyrna BeachDorothy Mae (Hackett) Capaccio, born to Charles and Mary Hackett in Hudson, MA on May 24th, 1930 found peace and eternal rest on February 9th, 2026, in Edgewater, FL, after nearly a century of a life well lived. She is pre-deceased by her husband of 45 years Nicholas Capaccio; Daughter, Patricia Oleksak; Son, Scott Walker; Son, Robert Walker; Grandson, Joshua Walker; Grand-Daughter, Kim Bickford; and Great Grand-Daughter, Rylee Garrison.
She was one of 7 children and is pre-deceased by Brothers Dick, Bobby, and Paul, and is survived by Brothers Jimmy and Billy, and Sister Ann, and many nieces and nephews.
Dorothy's greatest joy was her family, she was the heart of gatherings and always made sure everyone was fed, comfortable, and wrapped in laughter with only the sass that she could bring. Her kitchen was always a place where stories were shared, laughter echoed, and traditions were made. Whether hosting holidays, Sunday dinners, cookouts, or spontaneous visits from family and friends, her hospitality was effortless and genuine. Always fashionable, and put together, she carried herself with quiet confidence and timeless style. In life's simplest moments she brought a sense of grace and polish that reflected her inner strength.
She has left behind a legacy of love and family bonds that will continue for generations to come. She leaves Son, Nicholas Capaccio Jr (Ellen); Son, Thomas Capaccio (Kendra); Daughter, Judith Bolduc; Great-Grandson, Nate Perkins; Grandson-In-Law, George Bickford; Great-Grandsons. Milan and Dylan; Great Great-Grandchildren, Gabriel and Noah; Granddaughter.

Her greatest legacy lives on in the family she so fiercely loved. Through her eight children, nineteen-grandchildren, twenty-eight great-grandchildren, and five great-great grandchildren. Her spirit continues forward in shared meals and laughter around crowded tables, and her belief that life should always be met with gratitude and grace. The family she created shared in the love she poured out and her ever "cup half full" outlook will remain woven into the fabric of generations to come. Her life was not only well-lived, it was multiplied.
