Virgil Gearhart Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Lehrer-Gibilisco Funeral Home - Rahway from Nov. 26 to Dec. 2, 2025.
It is with deepest sorrow, that the family of Robyn Caputo announces her passing on Friday, November 28th, 2025, after a courageous five-year battle with ovarian cancer. Robyn was a beloved daughter, sister, aunt, and friend whose strength, warmth, and unwavering love touched every life she encountered.

Born with a bold spirit and fierce heart, Robyn faced her illness with extraordinary courage. She endured more than anyone should ever have to as she fought her fight against cancer. Although, she quickly learned she would not be fighting alone!! #noonefightsalone

Her desire to live and spend more time with the people and the life she cherished fueled her battle. She loved deeply - her family, her friends, and her treasured dog, Bella - and she embraced every moment of joy she could find, even on the hardest of days.

To those blessed to know her, Robyn was a shining bright light. She was brave, generous, funny, quirky, determined, and endlessly loving. Her resilience and her ability to shine through darkness made her an inspiration far beyond her illness. In her final days, her hospital room was filled with the steady stream of people who came to sit with her, hold her hand, or simply be near her. The nurses often commented on the energy in the room - a testament to the immense love she inspired.

Robyn is survived by her mother, Rosemarie Caputo; her sister, Renee Caputo; her brother, Russell Caputo; her sister-in-law, Melissa Caputo; her niece & nephew Maddy & James, her beloved dog Bella, her cousins, the Callanans, and extended family Doug Peterson, Lisa Mino and the Shpungins. She was predeceased by her father, Rudy Caputo.

The family takes comfort in knowing that Robyn has been welcomed into eternal peace by her Lord, her father, her grandparents, her aunts and uncles, friends, and the many beloved pets who went before her. She was surrounded by love the moment she arrived.

In honor of Robyn, contributions can be made to causes that were especially meaningful to her- ovarian cancer research and awareness and animal rescue. Two organizations especially close to her heart were:

The family extends heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supported Robyn with love and kindness throughout the past five years. Your presence, prayers, and care meant the world to her - and to them.

A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, December 13, 2025, from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm, at the Lehrer Gibilisco Funeral Home located at 275 West Milton Avenue in Rahway, NJ.
