HOPEWELL JUNCTION - Kathleen L. Marrero, aged 66, a long-time resident of Hopewell Junction, NY, passed away peacefully at her home on July 17, 2025.

She was born on December 5, 1958, in New Rochelle, NY to parents Anne T. (Mulligan) and Angelo J. Esposito, Jr. Kathleen graduated from Roy C. Ketcham High School and completed the BOCES Cosmetology Program.

Kathleen and Carlos O. Marrero, Jr. were married at St. Denis Church in Hopewell Junction on August 25, 1979. Kathleen is survived by her husband, Carlos, her son Christopher and his husband Michael Stuart as well as her daughter, Ana Marrero. She also leaves behind her beloved grandsons, Anthony, Aiden, and Mason Laino -affectionately known as her "Laino Boys". Additionally, she is survived by her siblings and their spouses: Joyce and Harry DeCarlo, Helen and Joseph Barner, Diane and Scott McDonald, David and Gladys Esposito, and Gary and Lauren Esposito; along with numerous nieces and nephews.
